crap napper to awesome napper?

I'm probably jinxing myself, but DD has always been a very inconsistent napper... every once in awhile we would get a good hour in, but usually they were 30-45 min and all over the place. ?Recently, she's been sleeping 1.5-2 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon!! Always around the same time too!

Is this an age thing? ANyone else's DC start this around 10 months? Or is it a growth spurt or something and I shouldn't get my hopes up?

It may stick! DD was the same--30-45 min naps until 7 months, and then she started taking 2 1-1.5 hour naps a day and still does. Here's to hoping it lasts for you!

Well, my daughter is a week older than yours and she, too, is changing her nap pattern.  She used to be a 30-45 minute napper.  Now she does about 2 hours in the morning, but still has a short nap in the afternoon.  I'm not complaining, though.  I will take one good 2 hour nap if I can get it.

DD was a crap napper until about 6 months or so. She suddenly started taking decent naps and still does, several months later. It's a huge relief since she's still not a night sleeper.

DS is an awful napper as well - 25-30 minutes 2 times a day, at the most. We just switched to one a day, per our pedi's recommendation, and get 90 minutes or so now. I hope it lengthens even more.
