Naps

What time does she wake up in the morning? And what are her average wake windows like?x

Wakes around 5.30/6am
Goes to bed at 7pm

Wake windows tend to be 2-3 hours
Naps vary from 30-60mins x

We dropped to 1-2 naps

I think you should move her bed time a bit later aroun 7:30 - 8pm an morning rise 6:30/7am
Keep first window 2.5hours and the others 3. See if it works, don’t think she is ready to go for 2 naps yes, for that she needs to be awake at least 3.5-4 hours in between naps

thank you! I have tried multiple times to move bed time later and she still wakes at the same time regardless 🙈 I think i will give it another go though as it’s been a few weeks since I last tried it x

It was the same for us, but after a week of being consistent and trying to put him back to sleep in the morning until the desired time now he will wake up between 6:30 and 6:45 before it was 5:00-5:20

that sounds amazing!! 👌 I will give it another go x

We’ve moved to two naps, we’ve definitely got a later wake time as a result. We were similar, 5:30ish wake, first nap 8:30, then 12ish, then 3ish. It took a few days to break the back of it and a couple of earlier bedtimes as they were shattered by the end of the day but they’re now in a good routine of first nap around 9:30 and second around 2pm, they seem to have consolidated their nap sleep as I was lucky to get 30 mins before but they’re easily napping 1hr or more now

that’s good to know! Our 3 nap routine has worked wonders for as long as I can remember it’s just the past couple of weeks she just seems so alert when I put her down and will lie awake playing for a good 45 mins. She used to just go straight to sleep so this is why I’m considering keeping longer wake windows and reducing to two naps. I will get there eventually 🙈x

Yep went from 3-4 naps to 2 overnight 😂 wakes 6:30-7, first nap about half 9 and 2nd nap about 3, usually for about an hour. Bedtime 7pm.

this is what I’ve been considering trying. Will give it a go tomorrow x

sorry I should have said, unfortunately this wasn’t my choice, LO decided he didn’t need 3-4 naps one day 😂 it works well though as he’s super tired come bedtime! Good luck x

ours did too, until they started refusing the third nap and were grouchy gremlins by 5pm 😬😂 x

My baby does 2 naps of 1.5-2hrs. She was born on the 30th December and had been doing it for a few weeks. She naps at 9.30ish-11 and then 2-3.30/4

this sounds amazing! I’d love that routine 😂 don’t think my girl has ever napped for longer than an hour max x

My little one always gets up around 5:30-6 regardless of bed time..
we have started cutting down his morning nap 9am ish to max 45 mins and then he has a longer afternoon nap 1-3ish and bed at 7.
Some days still has 3 naps depending on how long his afternoon one is! xx

yes I tried a later bed time last night (7.45pm) and she woke up at 4.50am wide awake there was no settling her back to sleep 😂 it’s been a long day x

yeah I’ve tried later, earlier, all of it 😂 my partner gets up for work at 5:30 so I think he is in the habit of it now… so we just stick to 7pm bedtime for a bit of a routine 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

yes I must admit I like the 7pm bedtime it always just seems to work well. Today we have tried 2 naps shes had an hour and half nap this afternoon (new record) 👌🏻 will see what happens at bedtime and in the morning! X
