[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 6 months is a little early - mine dropped the third nap at 8 months, which I think is more typical.

I'd especially be nervous about dropping one during the training process.

What I would do is focus on that first nap. How long of a wake window gives you the best results? If it's two hours, yeah, he might be ready for two naps. But if it's more like an hour and a half (which is more typical at that age), you'll probably at least need a third "cat nap" in the evening. And what about that middle wake window?

Find his ideal wake windows, and you'll have your answer. [/quote]

Thanks! Yeah it's over 2 hours now for his first nap to be anything longer than 25 minutes, so we're at the point where there isn't enough time in the day to have a 3rd nap I think without having too late a bedtime. It just feels early to drop it because he's not napping consistently, but we are probably just going to have a few weeks of 6-6:30pm bedtime and slowly get back to 7pm. We got another 1.5 hour nap today after a 3 hour afternoon wake window, so I think we are heading in the right direction.[/quote]
