How do you measure the length of a nap?
My son has recently gone back to having long day time naps but I’ve noticed that he now wakes up a lot more at night as opposed to when he was napping for 20 minutes and would barely nap for a total of 2hrs daily.
I’d like to cap his naps to 2hrs but not sure exactly how to do that?
How do you cap baby’s nap if you do?
How do you keep them up?
And also how do you measure a naps duration? For example if he’s sleeping for 30 minutes and you spend 10 minutes resettling him if he’s still sleepy and he sleeps for another 30 minutes, do you count that as one 70 minute nap?
I don’t use an app just a stop watch.
(I might be overthinking this a little)

@Tanya okay thank you. I’ll try see if I can cap his next nap by maybe walking around and showing him stuff.

I just get my baby up from his nap to cap it/need to go somewhere etc. He's normally perfectly happy. I just get him up, bring him downstairs, maybe do his nappy and sit him on my lap a few minutes before feeding him. I would count that as 70 minutes total nap. He wasn't up being stimulated and I do use an app so wouldn't want it to count 2 naps 😂. I don't cap his total day sleep to 2 hours, rather if an individual nap gets that long I cap it. We do about 3.5 hours of day sleep, couldn't fit in anymore without a later bedtime.
