If your baby is on 2 naps a day, how do you ensure they're not going to wake up early (due to hunger) from a nap? We're dealing with this right now and because he feeds himself at mealtime he isn't eating enough to last a full nap.

Question

Answer

I'm still nursing to sleep for naps

Answer

I give 3-4 oz of formula about 20 minutes before he takes a nap

Answer

I feed him food about a half hour before a nap and then nurse him to sleep. 
His first nap is usually around 10- 11 am (he gets up between 8 and 8:30) and usually lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
Then he goes down for his second nap between 3 and 4 and it usually lasts 1 to 1.5 hours.
Then he goes to sleep between 8 and 9 pm, usually wakes up once for a night feeding. Sometimes twice

Answer

Nurse after a small snack.
