How many naps does your baby take during the day?

Question

I've heard that babies that sleep well during the day sleep better at night because they're not overtired. But how many naps are best? How long do your babies sleep each nap? And how old were they when they developed a steady(ish) routine?

Answer

My first child did NOT nap. Seriously. NEVER. She slept through the night though haha.

Answer

I pretty much started a schedule from the beginning. Everytime my daughter displayed any signs of being tired, I nursed her and she fell asleep. I don't exactly remember how many naps she took in the beginning. But I think it was 4-5 ranging in time from 30 minutes to 2 hours. It's not very predictable for newborns. At around 3 months she took 3 naps, one short one 20 - 30 minutes and two longer ones 1 hours +. At 5-6 months she went down to 2 naps 1 + hours each. Now at 9 months she started skipping her late afternoon naps some days. She takes a good 2 + hour nap around 11. We get up at 7:30 and go to bed between 6 and 7.

Answer

My son will be ten weeks tomorrow. Three days ago he started sleeping 8 hours, waking up to eat, then sleeping another 4 hours. Throughout the day he takes 1-2 hour naps at least four times.

Answer

It depends on the babies age for me to answer this. Newborn they sleep pretty much all the time.

Answer

There's a lot of questions here that don't have a simple 1 number answer. When my son was younger he took 3 naps during the day for about an hour to an hour and a half. Now that he is almost 11 months he takes 2 naps for almost 2 hours a piece. He was a breastfed baby up until this week so he woke up a couple times a night until he hit 7 months.

Answer

We get up between 530 and 6 during the week so my son and I lay back down from 730-10 and then he always takes a 30-45 min nap from 2-230/245 while we are in the car picking my daughter up from school. He goes to bed between 7 and 8 usually closer to 7 and usually sleep all night but he's teething and it's had him up once or twice a night for the past 2 weeks
