8 month baby final nap

My baby is transitioning from 3 naps to 2... I’m still trying to get him having 3 naps but sometimes his 2x naps are so long he fights having a third nap. If he has 2 naps he would wake from his final nap around 2 or 3pm.... his bedtime is usually 7.30pm. What time Would be the latest to you let your baby nap for their final nap?

Or... how long does your baby go between each naps?

I have an 8 and half month old; he moved to two naps at 5-6mo old - he naps on me, dream feeding.

He now needs 4 hours between sleeps, even if he’s had only a 30min nap before that.

He sleeps about 11-12 hours a night. Naps vary - usually two, 30-60min each. I wake him up if the second one goes past 3.45pm

I have an 8 month DD.
She does about 3 hours of awake time before a nap and I try not to let her nap past 4pm as I aim for bedtime at 7pm

@7Worfs @girlmummy25 thank you both. Wow, I think I let my baby nap way later!! His last nap he wakes up latest at 5.45pm... and sleeps at 745pm... maybe I should not let him nap so late, as he still wakes up around 2 or 3 times at night...

I think their sleep changes a lot all the time, I’m constantly guessing really.

Mine was waking up 2-3 times a night also, until fairly recently.

I think what helped most was introducing full fat yogurt with mashed banana in after dinner, to fill him up.
