Answer 5

My daughter is 14 months and she usually only takes 1 two hour nap a day.

Answer 6

I have 2 Daughters they usually have one long nap from 1:00 till 2:30. Try calling caregivers in your area and find out how they use nap time. Good Luck. Make sure that nap time is at the same time everyday when implemented.

Answer 7

if I remember right. .my son would take a couple hour nap in the late morning and then one in the later afternoon.

Answer 8

At 1 year of age our son was a one a day napper. What was nice about that was that he would nap for 3+ hours so I had a good amount of time for housework and time to relax before he woke up. It was also much easier to put him down at a decent hour at night and he slept about 10 hours through the night which left time to get more done and sleep a full night. At 1 year of age you usually get one long nap instead of 2 shorter naps and you just have to modify your schedule around it.

Answer 9

My kid took a two hour nap around 1;30.  My advice if you want your kid to nap you have to make the effort to be home at nap time.  You cannot decide he needs a nap when you have nothing to do but can go without it when it fits your schedule.
