Nap tips?!

Question

Hi everyone, I have a 5(almost 6) month old baby. During the day he will sleep for no longer than half an hour at a time! He’ll maybe has 3 half hour naps throughout the day. He has been like this for the last few months. Only time he slept longer throughout the day was when he was a newborn. 
Does anyone have any tips on how to get him to nap for longer or do you think this is just his preference and it won’t change?..

Answer

My little girl has 2/3 of these 30 min naps a day and sometimes an extra 1/1.5hr nap (if I’m lucky!!). She sleeps 11 hours at night with only one wake up usually, so I’m not too worried about it. They will take longer naps naturally eventually, just hang in there!

Answer

How much is he sleeping at night? I believe at that age they should be getting 12-14 hours per 24 hour period. As long as he is fulfilling that, or close enough, I wouldn’t worry! My daughter went through this for a while when she was a bit younger, but was sleeping 12 hours at night (not solid but still counts)

Answer

I was having the same problem, I found putting my baby in the swing, swaddled with just her arms, and turning the sound machine on helps her. She will now sleep 1 1/2 hours in the morning and an hour nap in the afternoon this way. We have the love to dream swaddle, so I was able to keep her legs out of it and only swaddle her arms and she’s still safely strapped into the swing.

Playing white noise on my phone helps

Answer

My 6 month old usually takes 3 naps a day typically 30 minutes at a time, sometime I can get an hour out of her and she sleeps from around 830 at to 7/730 in the morning 
Some babies don’t nap as long as others, her longest nap is always her mid day nap
