Naps??

Question

Is it normal for a 17 month old to still take 2 naps? My toddler usually naps around 9:30 or 10am and then again around 3 or 3:30 and then goes to bed at 8 or 8:30. We’ve tried one nap but he just can’t seem to be awake for more than 4 hours without getting so sleepy and cranky and overtired.

Answer

Let your lo sleep as much as they need day or night.

Answer

We are at 1 nap per day. With our son going to daycare, he naps consistently from 12-2 or 1-3 depending on what is on their schedule for the day. He is good for 5-6 hour stretches before he gets cranky.

Answer

Yes as long as night time is not affected. If night time is then they're getting too much day sleep. Yuh can start to try to extend by 15 minute increments or less depending on baby every day

Answer

Yes totally normal. Once they start fighting their first nap you can start extending to drop it but that sounds like a great schedule right now.

Answer

My son is a MONSTER in the evenings during the week after daycare. They only have 1 nap a day and because they are on cots its not like they can put him in a crib and he can sleep whenever. On the weekends he is perfect because he can sleep when ever. He is consistently up between 6 and 6:30 am then back down around 9 till 11ish and then again at 2 or 3 for a couple hours. And he is in bed by 8 and sleeps through the night. He's always been a sleeper. His teacher in the infant room told me that she wished all the babies slept as good as he did because all the others could be screaming and he would sleep right through it all. I wish he was able to take 2 naps at daycare! Thankfully as of August there will be no more daycare and he will be staying with my sister while I work.

Answer

Yep. My 17 moth old wakes at 7-7:30am, naps from 10-12, then takes a second nap at 2:30-4, in bed by 7pm. 
We thought she was ready for one nap because sometimes she wouldn’t sleep during that second nap. She would just play in her crib. 
So we stopped the second nap, but it only lasted a few days. She was just too fussy and cranky.

Answer

Everyone is diff but my toddler is 3 years she sleeps sometimes once a day with her sister who is 17 months the nap is usually 1 to 1 hour and half. They sleep 9

Answer

Yes. So much less cranky when we can do 2. Often she only gets 1 long afternoon nap so it matches up with my almost 3 year old's nap.

Answer

My 16 month old still has this same schedule! You can definitely tell when he is off of it !
