13 Month Old Nap Schedule

Once your baby turns a year old, nap schedules can be thrown off track. Just when you thought you had finally gotten a hang of nap times, her routine started to change once again, and she wasn’t getting much sleep. Putting her down for bedtime has been harder, especially when her wake window after that afternoon nap is short. 

It’s no wonder that her sleep schedule can start stressing you out once again. That’s why I wanted to gather several examples of nap schedules for this particular stage. Below are several examples to start you off and help your child get enough sleep:

Frequently asked questions

How long should the naps be?

Limit the first nap to 1-1.5 hours of sleep at most. Otherwise, your toddler will likely take a long morning nap and a shorter afternoon one (or refuse the second one completely). You might even stop her from waking up too early by keeping that first nap short.

When do toddlers drop from two naps to one?

Many kids this age are still taking two naps, with most dropping to one nap around 14-18 months old. This explains why you might be experiencing some disruptions right now.

What do I do if my child has a short or skipped nap?

If she happens to have a short or skipped nap, aim for an earlier bedtime to accommodate her sleep needs.

Final thoughts

Most of these examples have early wake-up times, but feel free to adjust accordingly. If your toddler wakes up at 8am, you can find a sample schedule with a 7am wake up and move the hours up by one.

Hopefully, you now have several sample sleep patterns for your daily schedule. No more sleep problems or regression, friend!
