Hi ladies, just wondered how many naps your bubbas are having a day?
My little girl sleeps from 7:30pm - 6:30am ish and is still having around 5 naps a day. Her WW vary from an hour up to around 1hr 30/45 mins. I keep reading everywhere about babies transitioning to 3 naps a day but I just don’t see how this is possible as my LO gets so fussy if I push her WW too long.
TIA 🙏🤞

Usually four at the moment. Sleeps from around 7:30-5:30, naps are only around 30 minutes though.

my little girl sleeps the same overnight, and we're on 4-5 naps a day as i can't get her to nap longer than 30-45 mins no matter what, contact, car, pram, carrier...
she can manage 2hrs tops awake before getting grumpy
my son was on 3 naps a day at this point but he'd nap 1.5 hrs at a time so managed longer wake windows at this age.
i'm just following her lead, and she'll drop naps when she's ready x

Also four, sometimes five if one was particularly short. Most naps only half an hour, sometimes one longer one if we’re lucky. Sleeping 7/8pm to 6am at night

We’re on 3 naps now, transitioned at 4 months. First nap hour to 1.5 hours, second nap 1.5 hours to 2 hours and then last cat nap anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. LO sleeps 7:30- 6:30/7am

Mine is exactly the same with her night sleep/naps/WW!
My LO is 16 weeks x

I wish she would nap longer 😂 would get more done! X

Hey ladies my daughter is on 3 naps a day however she’s still breastfed and I’m struggling to get her on the bottle any advice x

We do 3 naps
Wake 6:30/7
First nap 8:45 anywhere between 30-60mins
Second nap 11:45/12 ish for 1.5-2.5 hours (I wear her in a sling)
Third nap 4:15 ish (max 45min)
Asleep between 7/7:30pm

My LO is 3-4, it varies 30 minutes-2hrs. Daytime are all contact/carrier or pram if out. Requires a lot of pacing🥲. Night time in N2M. But he currently fights it till he's ready. So timings vary from 8-1030pm. Tried getting him up earlier and he just wakes up, so lots of false starts.

Are your babies sleeping through the night without overnight feed ? 🤔 Seems like 7:30pm it’s the sweet spot? 🧐
Mine is on 4-5naps (4 if I manage to extend one so one is longer and 3 x 30min and 5 naps if all naps are half an hour only)
Sleeping from 8-8:30pm to 6:30am with 1 overnight feed

One night feed still anywhere between 2-5

We r still on 4 or 5 naps a day also. . please give Ur secrets on how to get a full night of bubs sleeping as we r Def not there yet lol

We do a set routine with feeds and naps and it really helped

I’m exactly the same! My LO wakes sometimes around 5:30 and at the moment no set bed time but will aim for around 7-7:30. He is napping 4-5 times a day with about 4-4.5 hours of sleep. His WW can be extremely short and I find it hard to make it past 1.5 hours as he’s normally extremely fussy by this point 😩 most naps last 30-40 mins unless a contact nap then this can be 1.5 hours! So frustrating but I’m kind of just going with the flow at the moment as feel I can’t get a routine in place until we’re past this 4-5 month stage… also, I find some babies just need more sleep than others!! Mine doesn’t sleep through the night, still feeding 1-2 times xx

Mine sleeps 7:00-7:00 ish and has 3 naps a day that can range from 30 mins - 2 hours each. It’s hit and miss x

Baby girl sleeps around 8pm until (only currently) 7am then has 4 naps during the day (around 9am - 11am - 1:30pm and 4pm (cat nap)) - the naps are normally 20-40 mins max

I dont always track but at least 2-4 a day anywhere in between 20 mins to an hour. I let baby lead me when she’s tired but always mid morning and early afternoon and sometimes another one if we’re out as she’ll always nap in the pram or in the car seat. I think she needs another one later afternoon at around 4 as she wants to go to bed quite early xx

Mine has 3-4 naps a day depending on how long they are. He usually wakes up between 8/9am and goes to sleep around 8:30pm, and wakes once for a bottle anywhere between 2-5am😂 I don't cap his naps unless he's had more than his usual amount of daytime sleep and don't wake him up in the morning either😅
Hey all!
My girl is nearly 7 months and for little while she has been a nightmare to change her nappies and clothes 🫣😂
All she wants to do is roll onto her front and try crawl off the mat!
I used to be able to distract her by singing and dancing - but now I can’t find anything to distract her and I’m chasing her around her changing mat 😂 and trying to change her backwards lol
I know it’s normal for most babies to go through these stages, just wondered if anyone has found anything that has helped.?

My 8 wk baby always wants to be held. Since he was born he doesn’t like going down in his crib at all, and even though we’ve tried everything ( I mean everything! The clothes wth my scent on them, holding him for 20 mins into a deep sleep then putting him down, swaddles) he wakes up and cries as soon as he’s down. This is the same everywhere, I can put him in his rocker or play mat for around 20 mins when all the stars align and he’s in a good mood. I’m scared I’m building a stick for my own back and that he will always be clingy. Anyone gone through something similar?

Sorry in advance for the long post...Bit of context, our baby girl is 7months and was in the NICU for 5 weeks. She has always been a terrible napper/sleeper. Bedtime routine used to be bath, boob, bottle (we were triple feeding with ebm to help gain weight), rock & put down. She would fuss a little and we might have to rock her again but then she would sleep for a few hours. We started off by putting her down for 1 nap a day and worked up, but she never managed every nap going down.
She now exclusively nurses, and getting her down for bed is much easier as she just breastfeeds side-lying in bed and once she's done I place her in her cot and she sleeps much better at night.
The issue is, at about 4/5months, she started refusing to be held when breastfeeding most of the time when we were at home. She gets very distracted and will fuss and cry and wriggle away even if she is hungry, and unless we are out of the house she will only breastfeed and nap when lying next to be on my bed. She will wake up instantly if I try to put her into her cot or if I try to get up and leave so for 3 or 4 naps a day I am feeding her and then just stuck in bed. Sometimes, its heaven because I have a great excuse for extra rest but it would be amazing to be able to get some free time back, get some housework done and socialise (if we have guests over, I feel rude and a bit silly just staying upstairs as no-one seems to understand). I have tried to avoid doing it because I didnt want it to become a habit, but she will flat out refuse to nurse any other way, and im worried about worsening the aversion if I keep trying. She will occasionally feed lying on a pillow on the sofa if I lie down too, but again she gets very distracted. Would rather not go back to rocking as it used to take me and my partner forever to get her to sleep and multiple attempts, and I dont mind continuing to feed her on my bed at night as it seems to be working well but I'd love to be able to get her to nap alone for even 1 or 2 naps a day. She will nap in the car and in her pram if she is tired enough, but will wake up as soon as we stop so it doesnt reslly give me any free time back and also means she is taking less milk and then sleeps worse at night.
Anyone else been in the same boat? Or have any advice? I'm desperate at this point 🥺

Girls, my little girl is 14 months old now and is struggling in her cot as we co slept from December right threw till about 2 weeks ago, I’ve found that when I put my pillow I don’t use in which by the way is quite thin and a lot firmer than the rest she seems to sleep a lot better but I’m terrified of her sleeping with one I’ve bought her a toddler one and again she wakes up constantly should I leave her without one and get up or is she ok with my pillow? I’m worried she’s still to young

My baby is 4 months old, and for the past few weeks she has been waking almost every hour at night. She wants to breastfeed and then goes straight back to sleep.
During the day, she usually only naps for around 30 minutes. If I rock her back to sleep, sometimes she will continue sleeping, but other times she just stays awake.
What am I doing wrong? How can I change this, if it’s even possible? I’m exhausted. 😭

Girls helppp I’m scared for the sleep regression. FTM my daughter is 3 months old.
Shes overall a good sleeper now. We’ve had a few bad nights which is giving me a tester for the 4 month sleep regression and the anxiety it’s giving me I’m scared 😭😭😭
I do all the night wake ups through the night due to my partner working long days so it will all fall on me!
