Bedtime for your Toddler?

Question

When do you put your kid to bed?
By 6:30 our little girl is begging for bed. She sleeps well all night and has since 3 months old but she takes horrible naps. I’m wondering if she’s getting too much sleep at night and therefore not needing the nap. It’s like clockwork—exactly one half hour for per nap. We’ve tried cry it out sometimes she’ll go back down but others she’ll cry for an hour. I don’t know if it worth it to go to one nap a day...maybe it’s selfish but I like breaks too! They say if you go to one nap a day it will be a longer nap but I’ll admit I’m scared I’ll only get one half hour and a cranky toddler.
Thoughts?

Answer

My daughter won’t go to bed until her dad gets home at 9-10pm from work, when he’s not working she’s in bed by 8-8:30. My husband works 12-15hour shifts so sometimes the only time he sees her is when she wakes for like  30mins is all and then at bedtime, he cuddles and rocks her to sleep.

Answer

We start bedtime at 7 , sometimes 6:45 and he’s usually in his crib by 7:30. He does one 2 hour nap and has self weaned from his second nap.

Answer

We do just one nap and we’ve been down to only one for a few months. Depending on how long is nap was will depend on his crankiness at bed time. If he takes a short nap (45 minutes) he’s ready for bed by 7/730 most days he’ll nap for about an hour and a half he goes down around 8. There are the few days he will nap 2 hours if not more- he will be wide awake until 8:30. 95% of the time he’s in bed by 8

Answer

Usually 10 or 11pm she’ll go to sleep. Sometimes 9pm if she skipped a nap

Answer

We do just one nap. If I can hold him off until 11am for nap I get lunch in and then water to fall asleep and he will sleep 11-2:30 and then bed time 7pm-8am. One long nap is better then up and down of 2 short naps and then being exhausted by dinner time.

Answer

My son is 15 months old and sleeps 7:30/8:30 to 7:30/8 in the morning is up until 10/10:30 and takes a nap anywhere from and hour to two and half hours really just depends on the day! If he takes a shorter nap he does nap again in the afternoon around 2 for another hour or so!

Answer

Depends on the night and how well she napped that day but most often it's 730-8 bedtime.

Answer

We do a six pm bedtime. She sleeps about twelve hours. We are early to ride with our seven year old for school.

Answer

I didn’t really understand how many naps she sleeps.. 
if it helps, mine sleep 8pm to 8am and then two naps of 1,5 hours (one at 10:30am and the other one at 2:30pm). I think if they still get two naps 1,5 hours is more than enough...

Answer

Awww, just like mine. Lol Slept all night since three montha but is now horrible at naps at 14m. We start bed time routine at 6pm and by 6:30 we are brushing teeth and putting on PJ's after bath. Cuddles until 7pm.
