What time does your toddler who still naps go to sleep?

@geranium My almost 3 year old wakes at around 8am, naps between 12-2 for anywhere from one to two hours, and goes to bed at 8pm. My older child is almost 6 and we had to cut naps out when she was around 2 because if she napped at all she’d be up all night. Literally all night. She’d get crabby as hell and tired around 6 for a few weeks with no naps but eventually she got used to it and would wake up at 7am and go to bed around 7pm

Sleep: 8:00pm - 6:00am
(Bedtime routine from 7:00-8:00, actually asleep by 8. Morning wake up ranges from 6:00-6:30, usually sleeping in when we need them to be up and up early on weekends
)
Nap: quiet time starts around 12:30 (in their room, lights off, sound machine on, no “noisy toys”). Usually sleep between 1:30-3:00pm.

Naps from 1230-130 - whether she sleeps or not is her choice
If she doesn’t nap she goes down at 630 and usually sleeps until 7
If she does nap she goes down at 730 and wakes around 7
I think the big thing for us was realizing that she needs about 11-12 hours of sleep a day between nap and nighttime
Edit: she also isn’t at the point where she can handle not having a nap yet so in an ideal world we’d love her to take a 30 minute power nap but it doesn’t always work out that way…

@geranium If he goes down in the morning and naps an hour or two hell go to bed 7 or 8 ish but still wakes several times a night. Gets up 6 or 7
Any nap later than 2 or that lasts beyong 3 bedtime is a write off.
He is just short of 2
My eldest sleeps 12 hours a night and has done since 7 months. But she dropped naps at 14 months.

Usually awake between 7:30-8:30. Naps around 1:30-3. In bed around 8:15; falls asleep anywhere from 8:45-9:15. She loves to just hang out in bed for a little before and after she falls asleep. (Still in a crib so I know that probably won’t always be the case when she’s in a regular bed lol.)

@geranium My toddler (23mo) has been on 45 minute naps since at least 20 months. If we let her nap longer she’s up until 10pm. On a regular night she goes to bed at 8-830 and is up for the day 530-630. She’s also up at least once, usually twice a night as well. Both of my kids are low sleep needs.
@geranium When my daughter turned 2 she stopped napping her 30 min naps. This made her bedtime go from 8;30/9:30 to 6/7 . Wake up 7;30
She turned 3 a couple of months ago and wake up is around 7-7:30 and bedtime in winter is 7 isch and summer 7:30/8 isch. Mostly falls a sleep in 5-15 min.
I must say I prefer the longer stretches in the evening than having a break when she took 30 min catnaps during the day. And this works perfectly for her too .
