How often do all your little ones sleep during the day at this age? What about at night? I am trying to get my son on a schedule but get worried if he might end up napping too long into the afternoon. What all do you guys do?

I try to get him to take 2 to 3 naps a day. The how long the naps are is iffy though depending on how noisy is older sister is being that day! Nighttime is a consistant 8:30pm to 8:30am. Sometimes ends up being a little off, but not by much!

My daughter takes about 3 naps a day. Two naps that are anywhere from 1.5-2 hours and a shorter cat nap around 4:30 to tide her over until bed. She goes down for the night between 8-8:30 and is up about 7-8:00 am (there are some days earlier, but I try to keep her in her crib until then). I worked pretty hard to make sure she takes good naps during the day (not going too many places) and that she sleeps longer than 45 minutes per nap. Basically, she eats, plays for about an hour and a half to two hours and then naps. Then it starts all over :0).

i gave up on schedual i just try to make sure shes in bed by 9:30 and she usually sleeps till 5 or 6. naps are on the fritz at this age i just wait till she rubs her eyes and down she goes with some fussing and if shes sleeping i never wake her up they know how long to sleep and sleep is good for babies. Good Luck
