Long nap?

Question

How are you all getting your 5 month olds to nap longer? We do 4 naps a day- nap very 2 hours for 30 mins. He sleeps though the night waking to feed.

Answer

Mine is a cat napper, exactly the same as yours every 2 hours he'll sleep for 30 minutes, 4 times a day, he's a brilliant night time sleeper though goes 12 hours so I just let him do his thing during the day, very rarely he will decide to take a longer nap but that's just usually if he's had his shots or is cranky (he's 4 months)

Answer

I get a long nap at lunchtime by feeding him to sleep on my bed and ninja rolling away then if he wakes up say 30min in I just feed him back to sleep and repeat until the feeding no longer puts him to sleep. We usually get 1-2hrs with 1 wake in the middle. We're also ebf so I'm not sure if that would work with a bottle.

Answer

I think it's just something that needs to naturally work itself out. 
My LO is the exact same as yours, 30 minutes every 2 hours. If they're doing the same thing, it has to be a natural progression

Answer

My babe was a cat napper until we consistently put her in her crib. Now I get two solid naps around 2 hours long and a catnap around dinner. She still is up 1-2x a night though and is EBF. I’ve been trying to tone down the naps actually to see if I can get her to sleep through the night.

Answer

My baby was doing cat naps until I put him in his snuggle me in the bedroom completely black out with sound machine now he takes a morning naps usually 2.5 hours, an afternoon nap 1.5 hours and then around 4 he sleeps for 45-1hour. He also sleeps all night 7:30-6 in his pack and play without the snuggle me
