3 to 2 naps.

Those who have babies who have dropped to 2 naps a day please can you drop your rough timings!

Also have they improved at night because mine hasn’t

We seem to now have a nap somewhere between 9/9.30 for roughly and hour and then another nap 3 hours after wake up. She is typically awake around 3/3.30 and then bed at 7/7.30. So far no night improvements but she is teething badly so hard to tell plus it is horribly hot in her room.

Depends what time she wakes up but she has like 3/3.5hr wake window then naps for 1/1.5hrs then another 3/3.5hr wake window and 30/1hr nap.
night sleep hasn’t improved

thank you for this! Sounds similar to mine but I’m thinking the morning window maybe needs to be extended

Wakes between 6/6.30am naps 8.30ish till 10am then naps at 1pm till 3/3.30pm goes to bed for half 7 falls sleep within 10 mins on his own. Started to sleep through too but teething so don’t know how long for 🙈🤣

My LG has dropped a nap on her own, she typically wakes between 7 and 8 and will maybe have a nap around 11 for about 45 mins to 1 hrs then will have another nap anywhere from 2.30 till 4 and it's usually about 1-1.5 hrs and she sleeps through but lately has been waking around 4 for an hour

This may be a daft question, but do they seem to just drop naps on their own when they're ready?

Avatar

not daft at all! I’m trying to figure it out also but yes I think so. Mine just doesn’t show signs of tiredness in the afternoon anymore. But then evenings is a struggle

Mine just fought her 3rd nap sooo hard and we used to have it in the carrier and she just seemed to stop sleeping. Also her second nap was finishing later so there wasn't time before bed to sneak another one in unless bed time was at 9/10 which I just don't want to do any more.

Thanks girls , my LO isn't fighting the third nap yet he only has roughly 30 mins

Times vary slightly based on wake up but 1st nap usually around 9/9.30 wake up 11am at the latest the second is around 2pm wake up 3.45pm latest. Bedtime is 3.5hrs later 😊

Avatar

Thanks all. I have an early riser and was getting a bit worried about the night as the last wake window was 5hr 14😵‍💫

Avatar

Nights, she does what she wants. Sometimes one wake up, sometimes 5 🙃 no pattern to it 😂
Naps, the first is usually 2-2.5 hours after waking, then the second is around 3 hours after waking, then bedtime wake window of around 4 hours.

My lo just started nursery and I think it's made him fall into the 2 naps a day which for us isn't actually going great because sometimes he makes it to the 3 hours and sometimes he doesn't and due to the heat his naps are all over with timing. So he ends up overtired before bedtime but refuses a 3rd nap...ugh it's frustrating because his wake windows are completely erratic and at nursery he's hardly sleeping for long but somehow awake for hours. Hopefully week 2 shows me different outcome but every night he's been overtired but won't sleep till he's at the 3 hours mark even if he's showing tired signs

Avatar

I can't wait until the two naps settle down. Now instead of fighting the 3rd nap, she's fighting the second. She had a grand total of 1hr 20 min nap today and refused to go to bed until about 10 mins ago 😔

I am so here with you😭

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
