Question about my 17 month old's nap schedule?

Yes, that is fine. Every child is different, some need lots of sleep and some don't, as long as he is getting an hour in the day, I say that's great, he's old enough now.

Hi.

It is great that he is still getting a good night time sleep despite the lack of a good quality nap, so if it works for you then don't worry too much.

Are you home in the afternoon at all? My 14 month old and 2 year old both have a sleep after lunch, from 12:30-2:30pm, by that time they are tired and ready for a nap and then go to bed at night by 7pm and sleep right through. I found with my 14 month old that if he had a morning nap he would never sleep in the afternoon (and then become grumpy from being over-tired) so I decided to cut him down to one middle of the day nap and it works so much better.

If you can, try doing something like that and see how it works. It would be good for him to have at least one good nap of about 2 hours to refresh him and get him through the remainder of the day.

Good luck!

I think that's okay. He's probably ready for just one nap now anyway. I'd just work on pushing it back. You know, aim for 10:00 for a few days, then 11:00, and eventually right after lunch.

The hard part will be getting him to sleep in a pack-n-play if he's not used to it. Maybe it would be helpful for you to sit with him until he falls asleep. In my home daycare, I'm required to move kids from a pack-n-play to a bed or sleeping mat at 18 months. Maybe you'd have better luck with that.

Once he's used to sleeping away from his own bed, his naps may stretch out to two hours or so.

My 17 month previous depending on how energetic interior the day he replaced into is between a million and a couple of naps an afternoon. He is going to mattress between 8:30 and 9:30 lower back depending on his interest for the day. After 2 different boys-it fairly is the inbetween degree or transition from being considered a toddler to being a real autonomous toddler. some young ones start up this nap downgrading between 15 months and a couple of years of age. this is problematical I agree. It does not final long the two.

This is fine. If he were tired enough, he would sleep in any comfortable crib. Most children that age take longer, later naps, but as a nanny, I cared for one boy whose mother would not allow him longer naps. (She insisted that I wake him up.)

Keep in mind that if a baby or toddler is offered the opportunity to always fall asleep in Mom's arms, he will definitely take that and "refuse" to sleep in the crib. However, if you are not happy with this, you can keep putting him in it and eventually, he will accept it. It's really up to you.

Maybe cutting some sleep out at night on you're baby's scheduale could work.Say you start putting you're baby to bed at eight o'clock,he might sleep for two hours a day instead of one.Hope it helps,good luck!

I just asked my doctor about this because my daughter (21 months) gave up her afternoon nap about 6 months ago. She said as long as she's not really cranky from being overly tired its fine. Some babies just don't require as much sleep.

Every kid is different...and your kid will be different two months from now. Sounds like he's getting enough hours of sleep overall...and that's all that matters.

Kids will sleep when they need it. That is why parents always get pics of their kids sleeping in weird places, like on the john!
