Nap time moving?

[KrisM]

DS is 6.5 months old. He takes 3 naps/day. Well, he did. Until Friday, they'd be 8:30-10, 12-1:30, and 3:30-4:30. Then, bedtime was around 7:30. Since Friday, he doesn't want that morning nap. He still shows the getting tired signs, but isn't interested in sleeping. He ends up napping about 10:30, after being awake 4 hours. It's still about 1.5 hours long. We then only have 2 naps.

Our new nap schedule is more like 10:30-12, 2-3:30, and now betime is between 6:30 and 7:00. Fortunately, wake time for the day is still around 6:30.

Is this a move to only 2 naps? To me, jumping from 2 hours awake to 4 hours awake is huge! How long are 6.5-7 month olds generally awake?

That's very impressive. Our DD is also 6.5 months old but can hardly stay up more than 2 hours at a time but I can stretch it to 2.5! And we're having a hard time with naps. DD's schedule is

7:00am wakeup
9:00-10:00 (10:15am) nap
12:30 - 1:00pm nap
3:30 - 4:00pm nap
7:00pm bedtime

It sounds like your DS is getting the right amount of hours of sleep which I think is 14-16 hours at this age. maybe he's just a very efficient napper...
