The afternoon nap

Samantha675 · Mar 18th, 2009, 18:03 PM

Well for the last week or so Brenn has been fighting taking an afternoon nap. I often take him out in the car, and drive him to sleep. Well today I have had it, and we are going to see about skipping it all together. He is being whiny, but it is now too late to let him have a nap. I hope I can keep him up and together till his bedtime at 7:30.

So what are the other 10 month olds doing as far as napping is concerned. He takes an awesome morning nap, nurses to sleep no problem and usually sleeps 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Hannah usually manages one 30-45 minute nap in the afternoon. She's a nightmare to get to sleep during the day

Valerie will have a great morning nap (2 hours) and then will usually skip the afternoon nap all together. Especially since it's getting nice outside, we go to the park in the afternoon and she forgets about being tired all together. Sometimes though, she will nap for a quick 45 minutes or so. It just really depends on where we are and what we have planned for the day.

Most around a year that I know sleep 1-2 hours after lunch. Driving him to sleep is not a good habit... he needs a routine of being put in for a nap... but I dont if you co-sleep then that may be hard. Most I know can be put down awake in their cib and will just go to sleep.

Jack usually has a short nap maybe 45 mins around 11ish, then a longer nap of 1 1/2hrs, occasionally longer, around 3ish. Depending on how he feels he will swap them around, having the longer nap in the morning then a shorter one in afternoon. It all depends on what time he gets up really.

Connor naps 1 1/2 hours at 10am and 3pm.

Alexa's afternoon nap is quite short now-20 minutes, so I am thinking it will soon be phased out.

Josh doesn't nap in the morning because he always sleeps in now. His new schedule for about 2 weeks now is :

Bedtime -> 9:30-10:00pm
1st feed -> 7:30-8:00am
(falls back to sleep almost instantly)
Wakes up -> 10:30-11:00am
Afternoon nap -> 1:15pm until 4:00pm

Sorry about the thread hijack Samantha

I know he sleeps a lot, I'm a bit worried sometimes he'll nap for 4.5 hours straight! On top of his 10-12 hours night of sleep!! He's kinda always been a sleepy baby. He gets that from me, I LOOOOVE sleeping, I just can't get enough! lol
