For those of us with kids who still nap, what time or times of day do your kids go down for their nap(s)?

Cameron used to be a morning napper, but just recently he hasn't been tired enough to take a good one until later, so he has been going down anytime between 11:30 and 1 depending on what we've got going.

I'm just curious to see what time other kids take naps, and if it has changed at all as they've gotten older. :)

They go down at 12. Kaia gets up at 1:30 and Wade, if he naps (he does about half the time) gets up a little later.

Wyatt naps from 1-3 every day like clockwork. I let him skip occasionaly, but only for special reasons.

They usually nap around 1:30. However my 3 yr. old has been protesting naps so he has quiet time.

Jack goes down anywhere from 12-2. If he goes down at 2, he gets up 3:30pm bc i do not let him nap longer than that :)

My daughters are 2-1/2 and 1. They take 1 nap early afternoon, usually from 1 until about 3. My youngest sometimes needs a quick 45 minute nap in the mornings, but usually not anymore.

This is how Ava does too! She used to not take naps at all when she was little, but all of a sudden she started taking one, and now she takes two.

My son usually naps by 1pm. He has lunch at noon. Once in a while he'll be napping by 3:00. He's always awake by 4:30. His naps are getting shorter now.....:(

I am not looking forward to the days when the naps get shorter, and then eventually stop. I think switching Cameron to naps after lunch has actually helped him get better rest, it seems like he's more rested when he wakes up.

If they ever stop, permanently, Ethan and I will be walking(NO STROLLER) 2 miles each day before nap time. :lmao

HAHAHA!!!!! Sometimes I'll "make" Ethan and Bryan chase each other around the house just so that Ethan will be tired enough not to give us trouble when it comes to bedtime. Thankfully, Ethan doesn't really fight his sleep. SO glad he takes after Daddy in so many ways. (L)

Rowan sleeps at noon until 1:30 or 2:00. Sometimes I'll put her down a little late but no later than 1pm and I don't let her sleep past 3pm because it messes with bedtime. (She's just turned 2 btw).

Oh yes, when dh is home, Cameron has "daddy time" before bed where dh basically plays with him nonstop to tire him out that extra little bit. Cameron is usually pretty good and done by bedtime too. He might give a little fight, but about 5 minutes into it and he's out. :giggle

No more naps for Liam...he does get sleepy around 7 or 8, but if I let him go to sleep then he would be back up again at midnight and not be tired. Instead, I keep him stimulated until about midnight and then he sleeps for ten or twelve hours. Just works for us:shrug
He used to always take an early nap, though...2pm or so.

Riley usually goes down at 12-1 and sleeps until 3 or 4. If he doesn't sleep, he has to stay in his room. The boy needs his naps or his a little terror before bed! :eek

He used to nap at 10-11 but in the last year or so, putting down after lunch I think has made him sleep better and longer too. A full belly does a toddler good. :giggle
