15 month older napping through lunch?


My 15 month old has started transitioning to merely one nap a day, but it is during lunch time. Previously he would snooze from around 10-12. Though it wouldn't usually be for a full 2 hours, it would be about somewhere close. He would nap following in the afternoon as well. Now it's approaching he's combining his two naps into one big afternoon siesta. For the past several days he have napped from about 10:30am-2pm, right through lunch. He hasn't seem to have any problems with it and noticeably is sleeping well and needing that rest. Should I be concerned nearly him pushing his lunch back so far?

Answers:    What is the big deal? He will wake up up hungry, you feed him,...
I'm no baby expert but I would right to be heard you shouldn't be pushing lunch to earlier than 10! That doesn't sound close to "lunch" does it? I'm guessing he is eating proportionately more than he previously did in mornings, since it's a length of growth and lots of activity. So the cute little one would be getting more sleepy than usual. I'd say, when he get up a 2.00 pm, feed him just a moment or two milk and then feed him food after around 15-30 mins.. I wouldn't verbs since he seems to be fine with it. Because of my and my husband's work rota, our kids have odd napping/eating times as okay...they eat at 2 or 2:30, then siesta at 3! Maybe let him do the 10:30-2 thing for a bit, afterwards work on maybe keeping him awake later...similar to maybe start having lunch at 11:30, later getting him to bed by 12, so he sleeps on a full tummy. Every kid is different, and if he seems okay with ingestion lunch after his nap at 2, then travel with it as long as it's convenient for the both of you.
I would just suggest giving him lunch in the past his nap and then a big snack afterwords. My son is also transitioning to one siesta. He goes down at about 11:30-2:30. I in recent times try to feed him right before and right after.

If you nurture your son lunch before the nap he'll also start to make out it as a cue. Nap always follows lunch.

Just want to add that its great your son is transitioning so ably..
No, I wouldn't be too concerned. Although my 14 month old usually has his rest from about 10-12, there are times when he go down later or sleeps longer. We usually make sure he have a bottle of formula or a snack before he has his siesta and then just hand over him lunch as and when he wakes up. I am sure he is fine. If he was hungry he would wake up up. Maybe try to give him a snack before his snooze. And then another snack when he gets up. Then a nice dinner. There is no rule they own to have a lunch, just put together sure he is getting calories throughout the day. Good luck!
Well, what time is breakfast and what time is supper? Try for a late, satisfying breakfast, a light lunch, and then a upright dinner. My daughter would sometimes nap through lunch if we were out or something and get back at noon-ish. She'd be sleeping and I'd put her down for a nap. I contribute her a large (healthy) snack when she woke up about 3ish, but not a full lunch.

It won't exterminate him if he skipped lunch a few times. However, if this is a daily thing, I would alter his nap schedule. Is he falling asleep at 10:30 a.m., or are you putting him down at that time? Perhaps, up his lunch to 11:30 a.m. and put him down after lunch. If he's tired very well before this, up his lunch to 11 a.m. for a few days.
I work with children each day and when we are trying to cut out the morning, nap we start by laying them down for only a half hour between 9 and 10 after a half hour get up them up, this gives just satisfactory of a nap that they can make to lunch. At 15 months I would start taking your child outside from 10-11 to carry some fresh which will recharge him and serve his lunch at 11 and when lunch is over he can lay right down. Sometimes children just need that morning snooze until about 2 years and no matter what you try they hold their own schedule. So if nothing else works I would basically serve him a little snack before his forty winks, something like fresh fruit and veggies and then when he wake up give another healthy snack. If however he is intake his lunch fine at 2 and then eats his supper as okay then just bestow him his lunch when he awakens. Nope, it's fine. Mine did the same thing.

My son also fixed the food issue on his own along near the new longer nap. He would chomp through a bigger breakfast or a bigger morning snack (10am). You may notice that your son is eating more surrounded by the morning, or more after the nap to "catch up"
I also notice - sometimes my son would have a growth spurt and have the longer siesta. He separated the sleeping side of the growth spurt from the ingestion - he would sleep like crazy for several days then drink like crazy for several days after that.

They don't have to own the regular 3 meals a day - they in actuality do more like 5 smaller meals a daylight. You can adjust it to fit his nap. That's what I did. As you said, they need the rest. Food is flexible.
