Night time sleep better but naps worse?

Question

Hey all, i finally at 6.5-7 months got my son sleeping in his crib rather than with me. He goes down at 7 wakes up a few times still but settles back easily . Wake up time between 630-730... naps are an issue! Its like i cant find the right time / routine for his naps!

Any similar situations? Suggestions?

I usually try to put him down at the 1.5-2 hour mark but hes just not tired!

Answer

Try stretches of 2-3 hours between naps. Our babes are old enough how that 90 minutes between isn't enough. They should also be taking 2 naps a day now instead of 3.

Answer

Yup lol it seems like she knows what I want and will do her best to do the opposite.. ex whenever I want to go somewhere or have visitors coming and I put her down she has a super long amazing nap... anytime I want to put her down to take a nap myself or get something done she wakes up as soon as I put her down 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm stuck in this in between place where I half love the cuddles still but sometimes just want a break :)

Answer

some babies are just not tired easily at this age! they need 2 or 3 naps but that's it. my son naps at 9 and then at 1 and sometime around 5. anywhere between 40min ad 2h
