Naps for a 4 month old

Have you tried the Napper App? It’s brilliant and spot on for nap times once it’s got your little ones info and a few days of logging!

My baby is 4 months (just) and it’s been spot on for him

Probably the 4 month sleep regression! That’s the length of one sleep cycle so it’s really common for them to wake up then, because they don’t link sleep cycles the same way they did as a newborn anymore.

I'm struggling with this too. X

Same issue here also 4month old

My little one is 4.5 months and for the past 3-4 days he will only take one nap in the morning then another 15-40 min naps sometimes in the afternoon and be up the rest to the day until about 6-7pm and I cannot get him to takes naps. I’m praying it’s a growth spurt / sleep regression

Instead of trying to put him down right away after he wakes, give it 20 or 30 mins and then try again. If you've just put him down (like under 10 mins), sometimes you can "rescue" the nap with a contact nap but it didn't always work for me. I had better luck though putting her back down though if I gave her some time after she woke.

That said, the 4 - 6 month stage can just be a mess. It evens out! My girl is now a rock star sleeper, she woke early this morning but put herself back to sleep and I didn't even have to get up!

My daughter is 5 months old and I’m having this problem! I’ve read that unfortunately in this age they are learning how to switch between sleep cycles and since they can’t quite figure out to go back to sleep they wake after the first cycle which is 30-45min. Might just have to do a few contact naps and just wait till they figure it out! I feel you tho, it’s very frustrating 😩

I have it and it tells me he should nap 4x 1 hour each but he doesn’t
