Nap length - cap?

Question

Does anyone cap their toddlers naps now that they are on one nap? I can’t decide if after two hours I should wake him, or let him do 2.5 or even 3 sometimes. I do think if I let him have 3 hours he sleeps less hours at night but I’m not sure...thoughts?! 
He always gets at least 10 hours a night but we are always aiming for more like 12 (7-7 situation).

Answer

I let him sleep as long as he wants. But he has to be up at 2pm during the week to get ready to come to work with me. Usually put him down by 11 depends on the day tho   We don’t let him sleep past 3 or he won’t go to bed

Answer

I don’t let him sleep more than 3 (so maximum 3 o’clock). He usually sleeps 2 to 2.5 hours though. And he sleeps about 11 hours at night.

Answer

It took me months to figure out a one nap schedule that worked for my son, he would only sleep 40-60 minutes for his nap! Finally we seem to be in a good groove! He wakes up between 6:45/7:00, goes down for his nap between 12:15/12:30, I wake him at 2:30, and then he goes to bed at 7:30.  We’ve found that he needs to be up until 12:30ish in order to nap well, and then he needs to be asleep before 8:00 or he wakes up REALLY early in the morning.  But of course if he isn’t up from his nap by 2:30 then he doesn’t fall asleep by 8:00 🤦🏼‍♀️ like I said, it took us a while to figure out what works for him...now that we’ve got it down I’m sure daylight savings time will mess us up in 3 weeks 🤣 so yes, I cap his naps around 2 hours!

Answer

Our nap always is ended at 2:30pm. He’s usually down by 12/12:30

Answer

I need to keep it to 2 - or else she isn’t ready for bed, and she needs to get to sleep by 8 cuz we wake early for work.

Answer

I don't ever cap his naps. He has one a day, 2-3 hours. It never seems to have any effect on how long he sleeps at night... Like, if he has a shorter nap he doesn't then "make up for it"

Answer

Wow what is the trick for still having kids that nap my son stopped napping when he was about 11 month old he awake for a full 12 hours a day running around none stop still wakes up once r twice through night aswell

Answer

He rarely naps well but every so often he’ll take a three hour nap. I know I should wake him up but he’s such a grouch if I wake him up instead of letting him wake up on his own. Lately we’ve been having very early wake ups so I think it’s time to adjust something again. Just never sure what with him.
