How long do you let your baby nap for?

Question

And does it seem to affect his or her nighttime sleep?

Answer

I let her sleep until she wakes up on her own unless it's been over 3 hours (during the day). Then I feed her and let her go back to sleep. She still sleeps good at night in my opinion. She's 5 weeks and will sleep from about 10-1, eat, then shell sleep until around 6-6:30.

Answer

He doesn’t sleep more than a couple hours at a time during the day, so I don’t have to wake him.  He’s up a good chunk of the day now at only 5.5 weeks 😩😩 it’s WORK because he wants to be held and bounced when he’s not eating or sleeping. 
Anyhoo, I would probably wake him to feed every 2-3 hours during the day if he didn’t on his own to make sure he was eating enough during the day. He sleeps 4 hour stretches at night.

Answer

“Sleep begets sleep.”
He sleeps lightly in the morning, crashes in the afternoon and wakes only to nurse from 10pm-8 am.
He’s awake 1-2 hours in AM and 1-3 hours in PM...if I miss his cues, he loses his S, and it takes forever to calm him to sleep. I never try to keep him awake.

Answer

He's constantly asleep. So far today he's been up from 7:00-7:30. He went back down. Woke up at 9:30 to eat. He's currently snoring on my shoulder. I usually get an hour or so in the afternoon, and then he's up for an hour or two before bed at 8/9. And that's about it! He's 9 weeks, 6 adjusted.

Answer

I don’t let me daughter sleep past 7 pm just so she’ll sleep through the night! I try to play with her a bit, feed her. Then will bathe her and feed her to get her ready for bed. She’ll usually sleep from 10-2 then up around 630 for the day

Answer

I usually don’t let her nap longer than 2 hours.. but lately her naps only last 20-40mins so when she does nap for over 2 hours.. I’ve been letting it go until 3 hours. She still sleeps a 5 hour stretch at night

Answer

This just happened yesterday! She slept all day and her last nap before bed was longer than her usual 3 hours and I was tempted to wake her bc I was afraid she wasn’t going to sleep good that night but they say to let them sleep and only wake them if they are under weight so I let her sleep. She slept and had no problem at night !
