Naps ?

Question

My almost 5 month old seems to only want one nap a day. She sleeps from 7pm-9:30am (usually wakes once or twice to eat) and then has one long nap in the afternoon for about 2-3 hours. And then bedtime at 6:30. I’m reading that at this age they should have 3-4 naps 😳 What am I doing wrong? WHY ARE NAPS SO HARD

Answer

Girl, you are lucky! Your daughter has a great sleep schedule. She doesn't require more naps during the day since she sleeps so long at night. You are very very lucky!

Answer

Oh my gosh that sounds like a DREAM. Fighting all day for 30 minute naps all day is the WORST- it sounds to me like your LO is sleeping plenty, and so nice that it’s so consolidated!!!

Answer

Naps are hard! But every kid is different so if your babe is happy maybe just roll with it?! I dunno cuz my girl sucks at naps too lol! I have read somewhere at 4/5 months that babies are getting 3-4 hours worth of naps a day, so one super long nap isn't too bad!!

Answer

Our almost 4 month old barley naps during the day sometimes he will take an hr nap but not everyday. He take a lot of cat naps. He sleeps through the night (between 8-830pm-between 7am-8am)

Answer

She gets the correct total hours of sleep I think. If, like a lot of babies she got up at 6:30-7:30am, then she’d fit in a morning nap. Also 2-3 hour nap is good. Mine are 2-3 naps a day 1-2 hours. Sleeps 11-12 hours at night (1-2 feedings).
