Morning Nap or Afternoon Nap and why?

Question

For those who have transitioned to one nap, do find a morning or an afternoon nap best and why? 🥰

Answer

Neither!! You do a midday nap. That's the way to go. If your baby wakes up at 7:00 and goes to bed at 7:00 then you do the nap midway between the day so they can make it to bedtime. My son wakes up at about 7:00 and he goes down for a nap at noon and then he wakes up anywhere between 1:30 and 2:30 and then he goes back to bed at 7:00-7:30. Sleeps through the night. If baby takes a shorter nap or a longer nap you can adjust bedtime by 30 minutes or so at the end of the day so they're not over tired.
I've done it that way with all my kids. Works great.

Answer

Usually babe wakes up at 9 am naps at 12/12:30pm then to bed by 9. Works well for my nugget.

Answer

My girl wakes between 630-7am, we usually end up eating lunch around 10:30 (I know, early right? 😂) and nap is by 1130. 
She normally naps 1.5-2 hrs, then bedtime is at 730.

Answer

I’d love to do an afternoon nap but that’s not happening now, she can’t stay awake that long. The current goal for us is to nap around 11:30 am after an early lunch, that’s about the halfway point of her day. Sometimes she’s very tired and basically takes her morning nap and refuses the afternoon one 😅

Answer

Neither, he goes to bed around 12h30-1h. And needs only one nap now. 😁

Answer

Afternoon 12-3pm usually works great, wakes up using the morning around 7am and his bed time is 8:30-9pm it works for us and our daily schedule

Answer

Mid-day

Answer

We shoot for after lunch around 12:30 as that follows her school schedule. On the weekends though she usually wants a 9:45 nap though.
