This nap usually disappears around 6-9 months of age. It is usually a variable length and shorter than the other two naps. If this nap continues too long then it may cause bedtime battles because either your child isn't tired enough because the bedtime is too early, or, if bedtime is moved later, your child may be past his biological time for evening sleep.
Best time to start nap is usually around 3-5 pm to ensure an appropriate bedtime hour (see Biological Rhythms and Sleep).
Many children taking 3 naps will be napping around 9, 1, and 4.
