How long do you let your babies nap when poorly?

If poorly I’d let them sleep!

She’s dropped to 1 nap which usually seems to be 2.5/3 hours however if she’s poorly I’d just let her sleep when she needs. I know it might make the nights a bit harder but I think when we’re poorly sometimes we just want to sleep.

Saying that I find the better my girls nap during the day we have a better night 😅

I let him nap for as long as he needs when poorly

Sleep is the best thjng for them. You just need to let them have as much as they can even if it messes your night up. Ride the wave, they won’t be poorly forever and sleep will go back to normal soon.

Thanks guys I think the general consensus is to let them sleep which I will be doing for tomorrow's naps!! X

if it makes you feel any better, my 3 year old has a hacking cough that’s kept her up for the past 3 nights and she’s dropped her daytime nap. My 13 month old isn’t sleeping well either 🫩

When my son was ill he slept 12 hours the previous night which was very good for him he only really does around 10, during the day he had a total of 6 hours sleep and wouldn’t have a wake window longer than 1 hour/1 hour 30 and then slept another 12 hours at night!

My daughter is very poorly at the moment, she woke at 7am today and went back to sleep at 8.30am. I’m letting her sleep whenever now. Hope your little one gets better soon xx

I just let my LO sleep as much as he wanted, sometimes it interrupted his night sleep but not as much as I thought it would! I hope she feels better soon, it's so horrible when they're poorly 🩷

Exactly, resting is so important to heal that if they’re ill the should definitely sleep when they feel and how much they need , my boy has a chest infection rn and he’s taking antibiotics which also helps him being tired
