Hi all, I'm looking for advice from those who have already transitioned to to nap.
My boy is 16 months and currently still taking 2 naps. A typical day looks like this (I say typical because it changes regularly)
6am wake
9.15-10.45 nap
2.30-3.30 nap
7.30-9 bed.
He is now able to go long stretches before bedtime, the other day he went from 1.30 until 7.30.
But my worry is that stretching him until lunchtime will cause over tiredness. He goes into his cot awake for naps and bedtime and goes to sleep himself, so this makes me feel he still needs the 2 naps but our days are all over the place because he goes to sleep different times, wakes different times... I'd like to know what time expect from 1 day to the next.
I often have to wake him from 1st nap in order to fit the second one and sometimes wake him from this too.
Can people please offer any advice? Does he still need the 2 naps? He gets very tired to the point of clumsiness, especially in the morning. If I were to bite the bullet and try a 1 day day I would need to stretch him from 6 until 11 which is 5 hours, my fear is that he will be OT and not nap properly and need another and bed time will still be affected. Shall I let him continue the 2 naps? I just dont know what to do for the best. 2 naps are not necessarily a problem, but sometimes we have early wakes or late nights because hes not tired enough. I think more of a structure would be good for both of us, regardless of 1 or 2 naps but I'm stuck where to start
