I wouldn't say that my little guy is a terrible napper, but man, these cat naps wear me out. I usually get one really good 2+ hour nap, and a decent 45min to 1 hour nap from him during the day, but then the rest are 10-15 minutes cat naps. Whenever he starts yawning or get a bit fussy (and not hungry), I rock and soothe him to sleep, only to have him wake right back up minutes later even before I try to put him down. Ugh! Swaddling doesn't seem to help much, any other suggestions? I use white noise, which helps him fall asleep, but not stay asleep.
Omg i hate cat naps too. The last 2 days have been the worst. I know she is tired and just wont sleep longer that 10 mins except for long 3 hour nap mid morning.
how long is he awake between naps? maybe you're putting him down too early?
I don't think I am. It is usually over an hour between naps, and not until he starts yawning or fussing. He does take his best naps after a good fussy spell.
my LO too. before i was going when she was yawning but i realized she'll yawn and still have a good 20-30 minutes in her...so now i wait until she gets the "stoner" gaze lol very glassy eyed and her eyes turn red..usually thats her cue.
