If you have a decent sleeper at night can you please answer these questions 🥲

1. Depends on the day, yesterday we had 4 naps due to one being shorter than expected midday
2. First nap is normally just over an hour
3. Don't follow wake windows super religiously, just follow his tired cues so sometimes he does 1.5hrs or 2hrs, occasionally 2.5hrs
4. Hard to say as he had to have a nap yesterday at 4 so that he didn't have a ridiculous time between nap before and bedtime - roughly 1.5hrs but we make his last wake window super active so we just play in his room from like 5 onwards, or we do something stimulating like going out to the shop (but a danger nap does accidentally happen here so be mindful)

He has a nap every 1.45/2hours, usually gets up around 7am and goes to bed at 7pm so usually around 4 naps a day. His naps vary from 40 mins- 1.5 hours. I try and make his last wake window is at least 2 hours but not because it’ll effect his sleep, just because he will then go to sleep pretty much instantly then.
He’s always been a good sleeper though tbh even when he struggled to nap as a younger baby.

1. We schedule 2 good naps a day but power naps around these can still happen depending on stimulation.
2. My LO will only go down for a good amount of time if I lay down in our bed with him and breastfeed him to sleep for around 45 minutes and then I sneak out and he'll sleep for roughly another hour.
3. Wake windows vary depending again on stimulation and how long the last nap lasted so there is no fast and hard rule for this.
4. We plan the 2nd nap to start around 2:30-3pm and ideally finish by 5pm but quite often it will be 5:30, sometimes 6pm which is too close to bedtime but I've never liked waking my babies if they decide they need the sleep. If he does wake around 5pm then I'll feed him again at 6pm and that's when the danger nap happens. He'll usually power nap on me for that last feed of the day. We usually aim for bedtime to be 7:30-8pm but depending on what time the previous nap finished and whether he had a power nap, bedtime can stretch out to 9:30ish.

I follow her sleep cues, if she wakes up at 10 she has her first nap just before 12ish, she sleeps around 45 minutes each nap and has 4, she stays up sometimes up to 3 hours between naps purely depends on her mood. I don’t stress the bedtime or naps; is she is fussy and doesn’t want to sleep I’m not forcing her. She sometimes goes to bed finally between 9-11pm and then sleeps through till 9-10am with no wake ups. I found that when I stopped stressing about her bedtime and naps and just followed her lead she was asleep within 5 minutes and slept better. When I followed just wake windows and had a strict bedtime she was a nightmare to put to sleep.

AI might be able to put together a sleep plan if you'd find it helpful. It can be tailored more specifically to you and your baby x

I've been talking to ChatGPT, telling it everything about my baby's habits/routine and my goal of returning to work next month. It's helping me put together a weekly phased plan for expressing, bottle feeding and transitioning him to sleeping in his cot during the day without me so we can hopefully make everything smoother. This is really good for me as I'm naturally a planner but we will still adapt the plan, where needed, led by our baby's cues.

Normally 3-4 naps a day. From 20 mins to 1.5 hours. If she has a long nap tends to only nap 3 times.
Usually Wake 7. Nap 830-10ish. Nap 1300-1340 ish. Nap 1500-1600 ish.
Bed at 7pm. Sleep through the night pretty much

I got chatgpt to make me a sleep schedule for her to fall asleep/sleep independently because she soon will be in her own room, and I'd like to stop her from sleeping on me for every nap. It's sometimes really annoying especially with a 3 year old to entertain and look after as well.
Chatgpt been really helpful :)
