Naps!

My nearly 4 month old has started this the past few days, very stressful but I think its normal. We also only had a couple of very short naps today!

My little ones just over 12 weeks old and he is currently fighting his naps something terrible😔

Yes my 14 week old boy is the same, and will now only contact nap or if I'm lucky he will go down in the crib for the first bit of the nap and then he will wake and I'll rescue it by contact napping. Think it is very normal at this age.

I wouldn’t mind if he would contact nap because i’m quite happy to have an excuse to sit on the sofa and watch TV but he just doesn’t want to be held😭 i’m hoping this won’t be a regular thing!

We are having the same, I'm lucky to get 2-3 30 minute naps, I had the same phase with my first so I know it's just a phase, I'm just putting my LO down earlier at night to make up for his lack of daytime sleep, it'll pass and they'll go back to longer naps, just do what you can and if they fight too hard then stop trying and give yourself 10 and try again, if mine fights and doesn't want to sleep then I don't stress myself out like I used to with my first and I just do a reset with a bath or a nappy change, seems to help

This sounds very similar to my days lately. He fights naps dreadfully and only has a couple of brief power naps. It makes for a very long day for me but thankfully he sleeps well at night

Right with you!

Hello! It's definitely normal - my daughter did exactly the same. My eldest did the same around this age - it almost feels like you could set a timer by her waking up at thirty minutes! Apparently it's to do with them learning to connect their sleep cycles. The only thing I find that helps sometimes is helping them to get back to sleep/stay asleep at that thirty minute point. So if she's asleep in the pram, to keep moving at the thirty minute mark, for example. Having said that it's not worked at all today!
