30 minute daytime naps

Absolutely no idea but im holding on to the fact that its developmental and they will get longer as they get older because theyre driving me bloody mad!!

My eldest was the same until she magically started napping longer at 6 months old. I didn't do anything, she just got the hang of it herself. Hang in there and keep it up - she will get there very soon! In the same boat currently with my 5 month old and feel your pain 🥲

My first was exactly the same. He's quite low sleep needs. Dropped all naps by the time he was 18 months 🫠 xx

Could have written this myself. 5 months exactly and daytime naps are 28 minutes almost precisely 😂😭 only different if in the Doona car seat and I happen to rock it at exactly 27 minute mark. Holding out hope that it magically increases one day as can’t see anyway to manufacture it otherwise!

We’re 5 months tomorrow. Night time sleep has sorted itself out (we got the lovely wake ups every 40 minutes from 2am onwards) but day time is still 40mins on the dot…. Which not coincidentally is the average length of a sleep cycle for her age. I just keep telling myself she will learn to connect them at some point 🙃🤣 I wouldn’t mind; but I know she needs one of her naps to be at least 1hour 20/30 because if she doesn’t (most days!) she is a nightmare at night. I can only get her to connect them during contact naps where I can help her with a dummy/rocking.

Which night be a trick for you: If you know the length; can you be there and do the second part as a contact naps. When they start to stir, pick them up and cuddle them? It’s unlikely you’ll be able to put them back down (at least I’ve never successfully managed with mine) but I embrace the cuddles since most of her naps are independent now.

I’m in the same boat. Almost like clockwork after 30 mins and usually needs rocked and transferred. Today he self settled in the cot twice and one nap was 2 hours! It’ll probably change again tomorrow lol
