7 months & naps

[katieb4tom]

At/around 7 months, did your baby drop a nap?

We think this might be what is happening but right now, is this pretty typical around this age?

Sorry, I just noticed there is a similar thread below! If there is anything different about 7 months versus the 10-12 months referred to below, please reply anyway!

At 7 months, we moved to two naps at 9:30am and 2pm for two hours each. We were on two naps/day from 7 months to 16 months.

We're 9 mos and still at three. Some days she skips the 5p one

If she takes a 5pm nap, how long is she down for and what time do you put her down for the night?

Yep both of mine were down to one (usually early afternoon) nap at that point. Then they'd go to bed at 6:30.

Yea, we've been on 2 naps since about 4.5/5 months. She is usually up from her last nap by 4 at the latest and bedtime is between 6 and 6:45 depending on the day. I don't' expect to drop the morning nap until she's at least 15 months old.

If you are trying to drop the 3rd, I'd drop the last one and move her bedtime up a little bit.

We are at 2-3 naps for my 7 month old. We only do 3 if his earlier 2 were crap. He's not a great napper, but a champ at night.

My son is almost 6 months... he naps 3 times a day... one about 2 hours after he wakes up (this is his longest nap- usually 1.5-2 hours), then two shorter naps (one around 1 and one around 5). He goes to bed at 7:30ish.

DD is 7 months and takes 2 naps. She wakes @ 6, naps 8-9:30, naps again 12:30-2:30 & down for the night between 6:30 and 7. We are following the 2/3/4 rule & it is working well.
