Joining sleep cycles
Am I missing something when it comes to helping my LO link sleep cycles? During the night she's more than fine but during the day she can only manage 35 minutes at the most.
When she wakes, I leave her 10 minutes, then, when she's inevitably still awake, I go up to settle her but she blows raspberries, babbles, kicks and wiggles about. I try picking her up, not picking her up, singing, reading, not doing anything and just being with her but she still doesn't go back down.
Am I missing something with this or is she just not a napper? She will go over 2hrs awake then only sleep half hr then try for another 2 hr wake window.

Do we have twins 😂😳 I’m right in the same boat x
I think it’s normal for this age to just have short naps x
My girl is the exact same! But she’s just had a third night of sleeping 11 consecutive hours… so I’ll take the crap naps 🤣 x
Sounds like she’s not tired rather than anything else, especially if she’s sleeping well at night she won’t need much in the day
If shes happy when she wakes up she probably only needs 35 mins. Not all babies need long naps at this age.
Mine will mostly do naps of around 20-40 mins. Occasionally if I go up to the bedroom n let him lie on me up there he will do 1-2 hours. I could cope with the cat naps if he would at least sleep at night 😭
