20 months+: Nap help needed

It's getting more difficult for me to predict when to start naptime and how long they are going to sleep. I feel we are on the verge of needing to adjust naps, so I'd like to poll everyone to see where we need to be with naps. Thanks in advance for answering!

I usually put my girls down around 1. Sometimes a little earlier, sometimes a little later.
It usually takes them about a half hour to settle down, meaning that I know longer hear giggling and talking on the monitor.

 

My two are so different I had a hard time deciding how to vote. We used to go down for a nap shortly after lunch (between 12 and 12:30). They just weren't seeming tired though so we have pushed nap time back until 1 now. DS is a good napper -- usually goes right down and will sleep for 3 hours plus! DH, however, is a different story. She has become my sporadic napper. I still hear her playing in her room right now and that's an hour after naptime started and several Mommy visits later. If DH does nap, she'll sleep for 2 hours max.

 

We go down around 1pm for quite time, if they sleep it's only 1/2 hour. But they are in their cribs for an hour.

 

We nap from 1-3. DD usually sleeps 1.5 hrs, but DS sleeps the whole 2 hrs sometimes even a little more. But they stay in their cribs 1-3.

 

We only went to 1 nap in the past month. Now they go down for a nap around 1:30 and sleep 2-3hrs. The usually go to bed at night around 7:30 and get up around 7:30. If they get up early, the nap moves up usually. It took us about 3wks to get to the point where they are starting to be reliable.

 

We go down at 11:30--but I have a feeling I need to move it back to 12:30. THey usually nap about an hour.
