    Jesse usually falls asleep at the same time during the day so im kinda lucky.
    He's up at 6-7am, will fall asleep usually between 8.30-9.30am and sleep between half an hour to an hour, if he's not asleep by 9.30am ill just put him in his cot.. then falls asleep sometimes around 12.30ish and i put him in his cot, will sleep for about half hour to an hour.. then will have an afternoon sleep at around 2.30pm for bout an hour and a half or so (if he's not asleep by 3pm ill put him in his cot also) and thats it until he goes to bed at 7.30pm. The middle sleep i dont really push but the morning and afternoon one i do so he has at least 2 sleeps a day.
    If we're out i dont really bother pushing his naps as he'll generally fall asleep when he's tired or in the car. If he's been awake all morning that we've been out, ill put him in his cot when we get home.

    I think its just a matter of finding whats best for you. I do personally think it is best to try and get into some sort of a routine around this age as the older they get the harder it will be to get them to have a sleep, even though they need it. Least if they know its their routine, then hopefully it might help a little.

    Best of luck.
