How many naps at 1yr old?

[*Star*]

With Oliver he tends to wake up pretty early, sometimes about 6, usually around half past 6 to 7. we give him a bottle and sometimes he'll fall back asleep for half an hour, sometimes we have to get him up.

he'll have breakfast, then go back to bed for an hour about 10:30 and wakes up in time for lunch. Then about 20 or so he'll be tired again and then he'll go back to bed for a couple of hours. then he'll be up, have his tea around 5-6 (depends if im at work or not), and then go to bed (at 7 if im off work), or 8 if i've been working.

so usually 2 naps a day. what about your lo?

Christopher is similar, his routine is

7-8am wakes up
8.30am breakfast

10.30-12.30/1.30ish - he has a sleep sometimes til 12.30 somtimes longer

2pm - lunch

5.00pm - tea

7pm - bottle and bed (usualy asleep by 7.30-8ish)

he gets tired around 2/3pm and starts getting grumpy but i find if i let him sleep after 2pm he becomes a pain to settle at night and sleeps less at night. so i hav eto amuse a grumpy baby all afternoon which isnt fun but id rather do that than be up all night with him

all babies are different and some need more sleep than others i guess

Nathan gets up between 5am and 6.30am
He has a nap from 10.30 to 11.30-12
Then he goes to bed at 7pm most of the time and about 90% of the time he sleeps through.

hannah gets up at about 6am. Goes to have a nap at midday for 1 hour then goes to bed at 6:30pm. But she doesnt fall asleep till after 7, then gets up about 3 times a night for bottles.

im one of the unlucky ones

Aidans up between 6 and 7. I put him down for a sleep between 12/1 depending when he has food. he'll sleep for 2 to 3 hours then he goes to bed around 7.30.

so 1 sleep per day

I think 2 naps is typical at that age. Pretty sure my son was the same.

He's just turned two and is now down to 1 nap a day but they can be biggies at 2/2.5 hours some days. Goes to bed at 7 pm ish and sleeps at least 12 hours.

Make the most of them having their naps I'd say

Ruby was exactly the same, but the last month or so she hasnt needed her afternoon nap.

She wll sleep from 10-11am for around 2 hours and then goes through to bed at 7.15pm no problem. xxx

at 1 years old luke also had 2 naps a day and i worried he was sleeping too much, now at 16 months old he has 1 x 2hour nap a day, its like when they start getting more active their bodies are tired and then when they get used to it they seem to cope with it better.
