Daytime naps
Hi
Im not really sure which forum to post in but i was wanting some advice about my 13 month old. He started cutting his afternoon nap out so i moved the morning one later, he wakes about 6.30-7am and i put him down for his nap about 11.30am as he seems tired around this time and goes off really quickly. However he only has about an hour so come 5pm he starts getting grumpy cos he is tired. Do you think i should move his nap time to after lunch or try him with 2 naps again?
Thanks

If you can be flexible about lunch, I would try following his lead as much as possible, although it may take some time for a pattern to emerge.
He wakes about 7am, I give him his lunch at 12ish and he is usually asleep by 12.45pm. He then sleeps for about 2.5 hours.
If he is very tired he might sleep for 20 mins about 9.30am and then his lunchtime nap is about 2 hours from 1pm.
We decided to drop the morning nap as it would sometimes take him over an hour to fall asleep at lunchtime, if he had one. Now he is sleepy so falls asleep straight away.
