We put on a diaper for naps. We were not strict about removing the diaper after naps and it slowed things down. But if you put it on right before and take off right after, it seems fine to me.

Huh? That's very age appropriate. Many kids nap until 5 or 6...

I use a pull up for naps. It doesnt interfere with the toilet training because the training is for when he is awake. As soon as he wakes up, take him to the potty and then put on regular underwear. Have him also use the potty before napping. But we view it just like nighttime in regard to training.

Oh. All of my kids still nap. Oldest is 6. Most of my nieces and nephews do too. Maybe it has to do with the family and how important napping is? I know secular schools have nap time until first grade.

This is absolutely unimaginable to me. Mine was (is) in daycare with a daily 2 hour rest/nap time. Mine still didn’t (doesn’t) nap. She dropped her nap before 2.5.

But she has quiet time on a cot at daycare and at home? Or you don't do it at home because she doesn't want it? Our cheder does not have nap time, so our kids nap first thing when they come home.

Yes. She reads or plays while the others sleep. At home we don’t attempt it anymore (she’s now 4.5) but she would scream her head off for as long as we insisted on keeping her in her bed since 2.25. She didn’t want or need the sleep. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing (what time do napping kids fall asleep at night? I imagine later than non napping ones. If they nap so late in the afternoon doesn’t it make it hard for them to fall asleep later?) I just don’t know anyone who naps past 2-3. All our friends talk about similar schedules

Our kids go to cheder/school at 3 or 3.5. Until then, they take a two-ish hour nap from 1-3. Bedtime routine starts around 6:00 and involves a bath, story, etc. Usually sleeping by 6:30. Wakes up around 7:00.
After that they nap everyday until 4 after cheder/school for around an hour. Bedtime is still the same time. If they skip a nap for some reason, they are sleeping by 5:30/6 without a bath.
After 4, they nap about 4 or so days a week for around an hour. Bath starts at 6:30 Bedtime is 7:30ish. On Shabbos, they nap 2-3 hours and bedtime is around 8:00. My 6 year old still naps or at least rests in his room for around an hour about every other day.
Are your kids sleeping much earlier or wake up later?

These are not super exact times, just approximate times. We are not so punctual!

Mine is (woke ) up at 6:30. Bedtime is 7:30. Most nights she falls asleep between 8:30-9.
Maybe she needs more sleep, but she’s very active and imaginative and would rather play (during the day) or tell stories to herself (at night) then sleep.
Your kids sounds like amazing sleepers. I’d consider you lucky!

Wow. Doesn't seem typical to me but good for you. When my DS was 3, if there was even a 15 minute nap, he would stay awake in bed for hours. Totally ruined bedtime. So no naps in this house after age 2!
