How many times does your six month nap a day and for how low long? My baby keep waking up ass early and is up for feedings every two hours a night. Am I letting her nap too much in the day? She takes three naps but wants them she gets cranky so I put her to nap. I’m just exhausted. I feel like I’m failing as a mom.

My son naps 3 times a day for 15-30 minutes. Most times he wakes up a lot at night and I totally get you about being exhausted and about feeling like you are failing

3 naps on average. One short crap nap and 2 longer 1.5 hour naps. Mine is also formula fed so that helps her sleep through the night. I read breast fed babies tend to wake more in the middle of the night

2 naps for 1-1.5hrs each
i dropped his 3rd nap so they would lengthen

my son takes 3 naps. 1 at 9am after he woke up early then at 12pm and then another in the afternoon they very from 30 to 2 hrs... tbh
I think he's trying to recuperate his lost naps and sleep cause he was an early teether he had his 2bottom teeth come out last month, he's 6mo now. he also already learned how to roll over and is trying to crawl already. it was hard to get him to nap on his 4 and 5th month.
he sleeps through the night but still tries to get some milk to comfort himself and continue sleeping.

3 naps , 45 minutes-a hour

Look into reverse cycling! Sounds like that may be happening with your baby. It’s pretty common around this age as babies get super distracted by their environment now. As a general rule of thumb a 6 month old typically still takes 3 naps a day but daytime sleep should be capped between 3-4 hours and no naps longer than 2 hours so they can get all their necessary calories during the day to sleep longer stretches at night. You’re not failing, you’re doing great!! Sleep is such a hard part of motherhood 🫶🏻
