Naps
How many naps is your little one having a day? My little girl usually has 4, but today she's barely had 2! She slept from about 9am-10am this morning and the next one was 1:30pm-2pm. I tried to get her down for a nap at 3:30pm and then again at 5pm, but she wasn't having any of it!
I did bed time at 6:15pm, but she was awake by 7pm and then got her back down at 7:30pm for her to wake up again at 8:15pm! I don't know what's going on!! I've barely got anything done all day because she's been in a foul mood so I've tried to get it done this evening and I just want to sit down with a brew and watch corrie but my little girl thinks otherwise!

My LB also usually has 4 naps!!
Some days he has a 5th and the off time he will have less!!
Tho if he wont go to sleep il just give up and let him lay and play or sit in his bouncer or whatever!
So frustrating when they have false starts / wake up! She could be going through a wee growth spurt/regression or maybe teething? Xx
I’ve just dropped my little boy down to 3 naps as 4 was becoming a struggle and he was fighting them. He usually stays awake anywhere between 2 and 3 hours between each one, I’ll just keep an eye out for when he’s showing signs of being tired and then try get him down.
Night time sleep seems to be going better now we’ve dropped down to 3 in the day x
3 naps!
7am wake
9ish for 45 mins
12ish for as long as possible- sometimes up to 2 hours
4pm cat nap of 30 mins max if she lets me!
Meant to add she goes to bed at 7pm
Today for us was like this. I don’t have any set nap times for him and let him nap as long as he decides to. I find if I try to put him down for a nap any sooner than 2 hours after he woke up from the last nap he won’t go down x
7am woke up
9am first nap (1 hour 20mins)
12:30pm second nap (40 mins)
3:30pm third nap (1 hour)
7pm bedtime
Similar to above. We aim to wake at 7 but ranges between 5-7 (if I can get him back down after his night/ early morning feed)
Nap at 9 ish, 1 hr
Nap at 12, aim for 2 hrs but today was 30 mins 🥴
Nap at 4ish, would usually only do 45 mins but he had an hour today due to poor lunch nap!
Bed for 7
If we’re out and about it’s nothing like this xx
My LG will be 6 months next week and we have 2/3 naps. Bed time is at 8/9. X
It sounds like she’s treating the 6:15pm and 7:30pm as a nap and not actually bed time.
My boy has 4 naps a day but sometimes more if just cat naps. He’s like clockwork with his wake window being bang in 2 hours before he shows signs of tiredness.
He has a bottle every 3 hours but we stretch out his last wake window. So nap and wake up, 5pm bottle and instead of sleep at 7 I then bath him/ massage/ read a book…. It keeps him awake. Then 8pm bottle and he’s usually asleep within 10 mins of nursing. He can then stir a bit not long after going in his cot but I just put a hand on him and shhhhhh till he settles back to sleep.
Currently 3 naps, but all 3 have been rubbish every day since last week - used to get at least one 2hr nap every day, but all 3 are now anything between 30-50mins 🫠 may *occasionally* get one that's 1hr long, however they are rare! I have no idea if it's a regression, a growth spurt or if teething has anything to do with it.. I just can't figure out how to help get any of them even a bit longer!!
