Ugh I thought by now we’d be napping more consistently 😩 she’s almost 7mos now. Its so random. One nap will be 30min the next will be 1.5hrs. But after a short one I know she’s still tired cause she’s cranky and I can get her to nap on me for longer. So I know she NEEDS the sleep. She just fights sleep so much.

For example today she got up at 7am. I put her down for nap at 9am. She fell asleep almost instantly. But was up at 930am!!! I said heck no. 😳 So I rocked her. Took almost 30min to get her back to sleep. But then she slept on me 10am-11am!!! And woke up super pleasant. So then I put her down for nap at 115pm and she fell asleep at 130pm and slept on her own in bed till 3pm!!! 🙌🏼 it’s so random. Some days she’ll only nap short. Some days (ok like once lol) she’ll nap 2 long naps in bed. It’s so hit or miss.

Anyone else’s days this all over the place?? 5pm-6/7am is pretty routine. But morning and afternoon naps are a gamble. Then throw in errands or church or something and it’s all over the place. I TRY to get at least one long nap in. Like if the first one is short I try to extend the afternoon nap if need be cause come 5pm she just can’t handle it if not. Nor do I want to go back to 4 naps. She’s doing morning/afternoon/evening catnap for several months now.

And I’ve even tried keeping her up longer but she still naps short and is way more miserable. Her sleep cues come at like 1.75-2hrs.

How’s everyone else’s naps going???
