Naps

5 typically, never longer than an hour, most are 30 mins

3 or 4

Up until this week it was 5 30 minute naps, but on Tuesday she decided she was going to start rolling and that the length of her wake windows would double 😱 so it's been 3 and a very cranky baby (because the naps are still only 30 mins 😩).

5 x 30 min naps a day

Around 3 varying form 40mins-2hrs

Usually 3 2x 1.30-2hrs (normally a contact nap) 1x 30min around lunchtime as we’re usually out and about 😊 xx

3 or 4. One long contact nap and the rest are 30 mins

So glad to read most babies are doing short naps as same here! LO usually has 4-5 naps a day

3-4 30 mins each on the dot lol x

3-4 sleep between 20min to 2hours

3 naps a day a max of 3.5-4 hours in total. If its a bad day and naps are shorter than normal will let her have 4 or do bed earlier x

3 usually sometimes 4

@Rebecca we have just stopped our 30 mins naps mine was like that for about 4 weeks!

4/5

4 naps. Up until this week they were 30 mins long and he would frequently be overtired. We made some tweaks and he now naps for between 40 to 50 mins each time (depending on the time of day). He still wants to go to bed early (between 6 and 7). If a nap has been too short, we now bring his bedtime forward slightly.

@Louise what tweaks worked for you?

@Emmo using a dummy to help relax him, using a sleep bag in the day time for naps instead of a blanket like we would at night (a temperature appropriate one), changing his sleep space - this was the thing which has helped the most - he now has far more room to stretch out and move around. I also no longer try to rush him getting to sleep with lots of sshing or rocking. I'll get him ready in his sleep bag about 20 mins before he's due a nap, and just let him chill out a bit in his sleep space first. That could be with a favourite toy, or mostly just playing with my hand to be honest. We use pink noise like we would at night too.

2-4 times a day, depending on what’s going on throughout the day. She’ll normally have anywhere from 20 minutes to a hour with each nap x

4 up until today when it’s been three because he actually slept 2.5 hours at lunch time!!!! I just sat there expecting him to wake up 😅 guaranteed it won’t happen tomorrow. For the lunch time nap, if he wakes after 40 minutes I cuddle him back to sleep and put him back down, doesn’t always work but doesn’t hurt to try x

Geez mine barely has 2 x 30 min naps a day 🤣

3 naps usually. A morning After lunch Then a quick 30 mins at about 5ish x

3-4 times. Between 10 to 40 mins lol

@Hannah wow are they not really cranky? I was told they need between 2.5 and 3.5 hours per day

My LO has 4 naps a day bang on half an hour each time 🤣

@Hannah dear love you, must be a tough day for you. 🙈

@Emmo not really. She just doesn’t really nap 🥲

Anywhere up to 6 naps a day, it changes everyday. All I know is that she’s awake between 9-11 hours from around 6:45 - 9pm

4-5. 30-40 min naps 🙈

@Stacey some days I seriously run out of things to entertain her with 🥲😆

Hey! 3 naps for my little boy who is 5 months on the 8th. One around 9ish (30-40mins) second nap around 12/12:30 (1hr45 - 2hrs) third nap around 4ish (20-30 mins) always awake before 5. Bedtime between 7-7:20. 😊 isn’t sleeping through yet though - usually wakes around 2/3am for a small feed then back to sleep until 6:30/7am. I’m hoping the short feed will eventually stop but at the moment I think it’s what he needs as he gulps it down! X

@Hannah I find by the end of his 2 hour wake window hard to entertain, never mind all day 😂 I hope she sleeps all night for you ❤️

@Stacey ha!! Thank you…sadly she was awake every 2 hours as she keeps rolling onto her tummy and getting stuck 🤣 Been awake since 4am… ☕️

2 to 3 a day but she sleeps full nights so that might be why she needs less
