How many naps is your LO taking? 1
How long does the nap(s) last? Kieran's usually 2-3hours, if Seamus naps then its from 1-3hrs
How do you get them down for their nap? Kieran nurses then gets her pacifire(I'm only allowing it at sleep times till we move, only semi sanity thing that I have while sleeping in the same room with her) and a sippy of water, then I turn on her Violet puppy for her 2minutes of bed time music. Seamus I give him his juice/water mix and sometimes I ask him to take a nap and others he will fall asleep on his own.
What do you do while they are napping? sometimes I nap, others I watch something on netflix. I would clean if but I do anything too loud it wakes them up

Anyone got a LO who doesn't nap any more? Seamus doesn't often and didn't for over a year
If so, when did they stop napping? He stopped napping at 2, the only reason he semi does now is because of his medication

If you have more than one napper do they nap at the same time? I try to make them, if Seamus will cooperate (but thats not often). Seamus will be loud on purpose when Kieran goes for a nap so I try to have him take one if not he has to go to quiet time in his room(which really isn't quiet )
They nap from 11am or 12 till around 2pm

How many naps is your LO taking? 2-3 (normally 2, but if he takes a super short afternoon nap then he needs a quicky evening one too.

How long does the nap(s) last? 1-2 hrs

How do you get them down for their nap? Just put him in his crib, give him his binky and give him a kiss goodnight. He is great about putting himself to sleep on his own without fussing.

What do you do while they are napping? Depends. Usually one of the naps I do house chores and/or cooking. The 2nd nap, I take some me time... watch a TV show, do online stuff or rarely take a nap.

How many naps is your LO taking? He takes 2 to 3 a day. One mid-morning, one mid-afternoon, and if the afternoon one is short, then an evening one too.
How long does the nap(s) last? Sometimes just 30 minutes, usually a little over an hour, and rarely up to 2 hours.
How do you get them down for their nap? He'll fall asleep while nursing, or while riding in the carseat, or in his swing. He will NOT put himself to sleep, no matter how exhausted he is! He'll sit up and cry or play.
What do you do while they are napping? Work, Monday through Friday. On weekends, I may be out shopping or running errands if it's a carseat nap. If we're at home, I may sleep, read, or watch TV.

How do you get them down for their nap? I nurse him, then put him in his crib tell him night night and turn on his musical seahorse. He usually plays for maybe 10 minutes then goes to sleep.
What do you do while they are napping? A lot of times I nap as well. Sometimes I eat lunch, play around online, maybe a a couple chores. Lately I've been reading the Twilight books.
