How many naps?

Vanessa

How many naps do your babies take a day?

My daughter takes about 4 30 minute naps and one bigger nap of about 2 hours every day. She’s rarely fussy/overtired and sleeps great at night (only wakes up once).

I was talking to a friend who’s daughter is 2 weeks older than mine and hers sleeps all day long. She only wakes up to eat basically.

My son always took long naps so they weren’t scattered around the day like this.

Depends on what is going on. If we are out and about he will sleep in the car without fail. So sometimes I take the long route home if I think he needs to sleep. 😂Other than that, he has only wanted to nap on me this past while. I rarely get him to nap in his bed. It's like once in a blue moon but again I haven't been home lately so he hasn't had the chance really. I find if I get him in his bed at the right time his naps can last anywhere from half an hour to three hours. When he sleeps on me it's anywhere from ten mins to an hour.

10 weeks old and naps 4-5 times a day depending on when he wakes up. I hold him for his naps so he usually naps 45 minutes to 1.5 hours each time. We started trying to put him in his crib for some naps. He’ll usually stay asleep for 30 minutes when we do that.

He’s awake for 2-3 hour chunks and naps for 45 minutes to 3 hours. If he goes longer than 3 hours awake he gets crankyy. He’s super active though, he gets mad if he’s laying down most of the time he wants to sit, stand or crawl and walk with help.

My 3 month old has wake windows of about 60-90 minutes and then will sleep for 45 minutes to an hour. So idk how many that is during the day. 😂 But she sleeps from 7pm-7am.

Mine is 9 weeks and takes about 10 10 minute naps a day... sometimes we squeeze more in by taking him for a walk or drive but if we just stay at home he doesn’t nap. He’s not overtired. And he sleeps from about 8:30or 9 till about 7 and wakes up at most twice in the night to feed.

My bubs was so bad for the first 10 minutes. I use to think aren’t babies meant to just sleep? We are finally getting some longer naps now. I just had to change her awake times from 2 hours to about 1-1.5 hours and that seemed to help. It’s so hard when they only have short naps. Fingers crossed longer naps are heading your way x

About every 2-3 hours takes a little nap and about 1 long nap a day. Just depends what we do and where we are. He’s three months but yes he naps pretty often
