Short Naps

My babies are 13 months old and in the past week have started taking shorter and shorter naps. They used to have two naps a day(45 mins and 1.5 hours) and all of a sudden are down to one nap a day and only sleeping 1.5 hours. However, they do sleep from 8-8 at night so I am not sure if I should expect them to sleep much more through the day. What do you think? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and opinions.

 

Mine are doing the EXACT same thing as we are transitioning to one nap. I've heard from others on here and friends with little ones that have gone through this that they eventually get longer...but until then... :headbang:

 

gosh, I think a 1.5 hour nap is a great nap! I do think that at that age the second nap tends to start getting affected and is not as necessary. When going to 1 nap a day, mine have never slept more than 2 hours and is usually more like 1.5 hours for that one nap a day.

 

It may get longer or it may stay the same. When we switched to one nap my dd started off with an 1.5 and stayed there until she gave it up. My ds took a bit to get used to napping only one time and he started off with sleeping 1.5 hours to napping 3 hours. :good: Good luck!!

 

When my two transitioned to one nap...it started off an hour and gradually moved to close to 3 hours for DD and most of the time 2-2.5 hours for DS. I think it really depends on the child and their sleep needs...yours might stay the same or go longer.
