Longer naps/Night Time Sleep

8th of May baby and thought we were over the worst with night time sleep then last night he was awake every hour 🫣 completely humbled!! My daughter who is now 3 slept through from 8 weeks and I really don't remember any regression with night time sleep, just her naps. But my son is a whole different ball game 😅 we're 5 weeks into the regression and really thought we were coming out the other side!

Both my girls early may, one 2020 and other 2026. We’ve started doing naps in the cot during the day after constant contact naps. She’s started napping longer and we’ve had x2 nights of 7-7 with no feeds. She’s very predictable with her naps now, I tend to watch for ques rather then awake windows x

3 naps a day, morning about an hour, dinner time 1.5-2 hours, and afternoon 45 minutes. She’s started napping will have a little 15-20 minute cat nap if needed too later on. Usually in bed by 07:30pm. Try the morning nap in the cot first you might be surprised, I don’t do the cry out method. I stay with her and pat her if needed too later most of the time she just stares for a minute or two then goes to sleep. They just need practice. She will also sleep in the car or when we’re out too so not always tied to being at home x

I found with my first once they go to 3 naps and the wake windows get longer the naps start getting longer and your day gets more routine !

I wouldn’t worry too much about cot naps at this age unless you particularly want to! My eldest never slept well until he was about 1 (but better than this don’t worry I just mean didn’t like cot naps etc) and he is an amazing independent sleeper now at 2.5 and friends who did the cot naps thing early have awful sleepers so I don’t think there’s much rhyme or reason- just depends on the child!
