To wake up or let sleep

mtrhomegirl

So DD is 3 months old and is finally on a nap schedule for the most part....she has been taking a morning and afternoon nap. Question is how long do you let little one nap for?? I have been waking her up between 2 and 2 1/2 hrs unless she wakes before that.

That is what I do also - we don't have consistent naps here yet though but if they go long that is when I wake him also.

What I would give for a 2 hour nap!!! I would let the baby sleep unless it's getting later in the day and too close to bedtime.

I'm in the never wake a sleeping baby camp. Unless it's getting past 6 pm as it would mess with ds bedtime. I don't need my kid up to 11 thinking it's party time.

DD used to take long naps - oh how I miss those days....anyway, I only woke her if her nap went past three hours or if it had been 5 hours since she had eaten last. Because if I let her go loner than that she was just screwed up for the rest of the day.

Late in the day I never let naps go past 2 hours but they rarely did anyway - it was usually her morning or mid day nap that was a long one.

Definitely let your babe sleep if she is gaining weight steadily and eating well. My babe is 5 months old and I WISH she would just go to sleep. Enjoy this while it lasts.

I wake past 3.5 so it doesn't mess with my supply. I fear losing my milk!

3 months? Let LO sleep. Enjoy the long naps while you can... I'm lucky to get a 30-45 min nap.

Let me sleep. There's a large growth spurt around 3 months, if they are sleeping that much it's usually because they need it.

I have been letting him sleep. If it's a nap that goes beyond 3 hours I start to slowly make noises or open the blinds and he usually wakes himself up shortly after that. I think they sleep because they need it but any nap longer than 3ish hours could mess with night time sleeping from my experience with my baby.

if she sleeps through the night with that schedule then i would keep it up!
