FREAKING OUT

Lou’s Mommy

It’s 15:30 and baby has had two 30 min naps so far. She has been awake since 8:20. This can’t be normal?! She has always had very short naps and fights sleep A LOT - nap time is always a battle - even though I do EVERYTHING AND MORE to help her sleep. But now this is getting fucking ridiculous. She just turned 6 months.

My LO is not a good napper and still doesn’t sleep through the night. He takes 2 15-20 minute naps a day and then one around 45 minutes. Every baby is different I wouldn’t freak out!

Do you follow awake times? When did she go to bed and how many hours of night sleep did she get?

Yeah you are doing everything right. I have to hold my baby to even get her to take naps. It’s tiring for me otherwise she will only sleep 30. Good luck to you !

I follow awake times and try to not have her go longer than 2-2:30h between naps. But sometimes she will go 4h between naps as she really fights sleep.

She woke up at 8 am and got 10h of sleep at night. So maybe it’s not that bad? It’s just that I see so many babies her age and even much older babies having nice long naps during the day. Also I can clearly tell she is not well rested when she wakes up from her naps 😣 Oh well I suppose she will consolidate when she is ready.

I have days like those and sometimes I have to take her on a car ride and for some reason it knocks her out lol once I know she is asleep I gently click her into her stroller and walk her. My baby is going through separation anxiety at night right now and I’m exhausted. She screams every hour on the hour and will only sleep in my arms.

My son has been doing that all the time. He only cat naps, rarely sleeps longer than 30 minutes.

Also normal for both my girls. No long naps, and usually only in the car/stroller.

Thanks everyone, nice to know I’m not alone 😅 I just worry because most days she only gets 1:30-2h of sleep during the daytime total, I read somewhere babies her age should get more. Also she sleeps 11-12h per day, sometimes 13h if I’m lucky... I guess some babies just don’t sleep much but I can’t help worrying.
