Naps.. 8,9,10 month olds..

can you tell me your 8,9,10 month old nap schedule?

and how many naps a day?

i seem to be having a setback with them, they used to be good nappers.. 2x a day almost 2 hours each time.
but now i am lucky if i get a half hour is this normal or do i have to change up my schedule?

what time are their naps usually? you may need to push them back and one may be a long nap and the second nap may turn out to be a cat nap...1/2 hour nap.

DD USUALLY naps 2 hours in the AM- about 2- 2.5 hours after she wakes up. If we miss that window- She's a beast to get down!! In the afternoon- she'll do a 1/2 hour-1 hour. I've noticed as she's getting alittle older- she's more easily distracted. She needs quiet and dim lighting..and a bottle! NO bottle=no nap!!
what's your routine for nap time?

lol naps whats that, they fall asleep when they want to, could be a half hour could be 2 hours,
my kids are only scheduled with eating and even that is pretty loose
their new thing is napping at 4:00 way too late

Ainsley is 10.5 months and is on no kind of nap schedule. She's just not consistent. Sometimes she'll take 2 naps, sometimes she'll catnap in the morning and take a decent nap in the afternoon, and sometimes she'll take 2 cat naps.

ds is 8.5 months and he is getting a little fussier also.. he takes his morning one 2-2.5 hours after he wakes up also but that used to be 2 hours now i'm lucky if its an hour and he gets sleepy around 4 but doesn't want to nap so he's cranky and when I nurse him at 6 he decides he wants to nap and then doesn't fall asleep till 11.. woke him up an hour earlier today so i'm hoping this helps a bit.

Re: Naps.. 8,9,10 month olds..

they take the 1st nap 2 hours after they get up .
that nap was usually the best always 2 hours.

then the 2nd nap was 2 hours after they woke up again. so around 1:30.

but NOW.. they are doing so badly with the napping

ok i am going to try and push both naps later.
i will start off with 2.5 hours. and see what happens.

i will start today

Re: Naps.. 8,9,10 month olds..

for 2 weeks he fought me on naps (he was hitting milestones I guess, babbling, and crawling, walking), then suddenly he was back to his 2 2 hour naps (I guess he figured it out)

Now he's giving me a 3 hour nap in the morning (I guess teething) and I have no clue what to expect next.
