anyone else still stuck with short naps?

Question

My girl is amazing at nighttime sleep... consistently 6-6 or 630-630. However, naps are still a struggle... her first nap is usually 30-50 mins and the second one is usually 1 hour... occasionally I will be blessed with a 1.5-2 hour nap. I see people writing on here that their babe takes two 2 hour naps a day and I’m just sitting here thinking how?! 🥴

Answer

How long are her wake windows? My daughter has always been a good napper but whenever she starts taking short naps, I know I have to stretch her wake windows a little. The opposite may be true as well. Wake windows should be about 3 hours at this age.

Answer

My son sleeps 6p-8a. He takes two naps one is 30 minutes sometimes 20 🥴 and the 2nd nap is usually 60 minutes.

Answer

Mine girl was taking 2x 1.5hr naps for months and this past week she is now doing 2x 30 minute cat naps and it’s horrible. At 8-10 months they go through another sleep regression so maybe after this they will figure it out. I hope so anyway

Answer

Yes! She’s always had short naps but loves to go to bed at 5.30 latest! Always has. So even though she still wakes up a few times for boob in the night (with her eyes closed and straight back to sleep) I’ve felt lucky as I’ve heard some people say their baby doesn’t go to bed until 9pm 😭 I’m grateful for my evening even though I don’t get much “time off” in the day 😁

Answer

My daughter is a horrible mapper. If I get a total of 1.5 hours of nap time in a day that’s a win for us. She’s sleeping well at night so I’m just not fighting it anymore. I gave up.

Answer

Mine does 40 minute and 2 hr nap usually. But if for some reason she wakes up on the longer nap, then i force her to do half an hr third nap to prevent her from being over exhausted.

Answer

My son averages 45 minutes for his naps. His wake windows are around 3-4 hours depending on the nap. Shorter or longer and he fights the naps entirely and screams. Room is as dark as we can get it. So I just deal with the short naps and take what I can get. He sleeps 12-13 hours at night so i feel blessed in that realm.

Answer

Mine was taking awesome naps for awhile there, it was such a relief because we had been struggling with them for a long time...not sure what happened but now she's basically stopped napping most days. If I'm lucky she might take a short afternoon nap...I've tried so many tactics to try to get things back to normal and I just am having no luck. Her pediatrician said she's getting the minimum amount of sleep she needs so she's doing alright, and I'm like "but I'm not!" :( I have almost no time to for anything these days.
