7/8mo nap routine

[er1507]

Just wondering what your 7/8mo nap routine looks like.
I have always stuck to some sort of routine as it works well for us usually this is what our day looks like

7am 7am wake up
9.30 nap 30-40min
12.30/1ish nap 45min
3.30/4ish nap 30-45min

Recently she has not been napping until 10am so then her afternoon map is becoming more like 2ish but then if she's awake by 3 she won't last that long until her 7pm bedtime. Any thoughts

Until around 14 mon, our DD had 2 naps of 1.5 hr each - first one being 2 hrs after wake up and the second one after lunch. Then we dropped the afternoon nap and shifted the morning nap to around 11am for 1.5 hrs. At 22 mon, she's still doing this.

My dd2 8 months has one nap 10am and one at 2pm and is now fine until bedtime at 6.30pm ish

My almost 8mo DD has a similar routine but the times and lengths of her naps vary quite a lot! However, she normally manages to fit in 3 short naps a day. But, like you, sometimes it gets to late afternoon and she's tired, but is almost bedtime so completely the wrong time for a nap.

If she wakes from her 2nd nap early afternoon, I tend to try and give her a 3rd nap mid-afternoon to avoid a late-afternoon nap. I have ways of wearing her out (door bouncer is the best!) so that she'll sleep earlier than she might otherwise have done. But still, it often doesn't work... earlier today she had a 3rd nap at 5:30pm, which meant that she didn't go to bed until later than usual.

DD wakes around 7, has nap 1 at 9am and nap 2 at 2pm. She generally gets 3 hours a day in one short nap of 1 hour and one long one of over 2 hours. I never know which nap will come first - the long or the short one!

Oops should have said she's 8 months today. Same routine for last 6 weeks or so.

My 9mo has something similar to this:
Up 7am
Nap 9.30 am (1 hr)
Nap 2pm (1.5-2 hrs)

He used to do 3 naps but dropped it himself about 5 months.

8 month DS naps are the same lengths as yours. Although he wakes at different times in the morning, usually about half 6 so the timing of the naps depends on when he wakes.
