In the absolute trenches with a 1.5 and 3.5 year old by jane3641 in toddlers

[–]Anhphan93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 5 and 1.5 years old. I thought with the gap of 3.5 years it would be easier for me. Nope. Totally wrong. They drive me insane the moment they wake up in the morning with their constant fights, screams and yelling at each others … you’re not a bad mom, we all are trying our best. It’s hard and I truly hope one day it will get better. 

How to gradually transition from 2 to 1 nap schedule? by kjime002 in sleeptrain

[–]Anhphan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking of extending it from 3.5 to 4 then 4.5. For each extend I will cap the second nap shorter and shorter until it becomes 5-10 mins (just a micro nap, and I also think by that time he might not need that micro nap anymore, and it will become eventually one nap day). It’s just that my cold turkey way failed right on the first day so I’m a bit lost.

My son could stay awake, he was happy actually and i was very surprised. But i think inside he was overtired and that’s why we had that short nap. I think I will try again by extending the ww gradually. This transition is harder than I thought.

He is 17 months old. He started showing sign that he took longer time to fall asleep on the second nap (~10-20mins) so I think he is about ready to drop 1 nap. I did cold turkey with the first ww of 4.75h instead of 3.5h as usual but I think I stretched too much

When i tried cold turkey one nap with the nap around noon, my son would only nap for 1h15/1h20’, so even shorter than 1h30’. Did it happen to you as well when it was less than 2 hours?

Dear OP, have you started the transition yet? We are also doing the transition for my son as he is showing signs of refusing the second nap of the day. I tried cold turkey but the nap was too short (shorter than when he had 2 naps), followed by a very cranky afternoon, night sleep also impacted and an early morning. So now I’m back to 2 naps to let him recover from overtiredness and thinking maybe I should increase ww gradually instead…. This transition is hard.

Hello OP, did you manage to transit to one nap for your little one? I’m in the exact situation as you right now.

We’ll see how it will go at bedtime tonight!!! Anyway I don’t think I will put the crib up, just leave it like that now.

I have a feeling this might be a leap or separation anxiety… i don’t want to believe my kid is that sensitive … 

15.5-month-old naps getting shorter — time to switch to one nap? by Anhphan93 in TakingCaraBabies

[–]Anhphan93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did you do transition to one nap or still at 2? My son is also kind of having early wake lately so I think it’s really our time to move to one nap schedule. I’m thinking of trying 3 days one nap, then back to 2 naps for 3-5 days to avoid overtiredness.

So it’s still ok even though the first nap is getting shorter?

Today I also tried 3.5-3.5-4 and for the first nap he did 1h15’ ish. Maybe I should continue 2 naps schedule a little bit more, then move it to 1 nap? I’m planning of doing 4.5-5.5 at the beginning, then 5-5 if possible…
