How many naps and for how long does your 3 month old sleep during the day?

And is your LO napping in his/her crib?

2 serious naps and varied cat naps. Morning nap is on me in the rocker for an hour or so. Afternoon nap in crib can be 2-3 hrs. Sometimes we are busy and naps happen on the go in a wrap or car seat or stroller. I try not to obsess. If he sleeps less one day then he makes up for it the next. For example my family was visiting this weekend. He slept less yesterday but today slept late (9am) and then we both went down for another 2.5 hrs at 10:30.

1hr in the morning in one "go"

1.5 hrs in the afternoon broken up into two naps.

Overnight: 7pm-7am with three wakings to eat (then back down immediately). He has reflux, and eats smaller amounts more frequently.

I think he could use another hour nap but he's too curious about everything around him to sleep unless he's really tired.

Mine did five 45 minute naps until this week. Now she's doing 3 x 1hour+ and maybe a catnap. I think as long as they get 14-15 hours, it doesn't matter.

My LO naps after every bottle, so about 5 times per day.. Mostly 45mins but sometimes they will be a bit longer or a bit shorter. He naps in his crib, been sleeping in it for about a week now.

My son is 14 weeks and his nap schedule is:

Naps for 1 hour: 9-10am
Naps for 30 min: 1-2pm
Naps for 1 hour: 4-5pm

He naps in his swing in the living room.

Mine also sleeps in between every feeding most days but sleeps wherever we are. Sometimes in the car seat sometimes in her swing, the floor, her crib longest naps are definitely in the swing though.

Here is one of her mid - play sleeps

My LO takes 5 naps that vary from 30 minutes to an hour. He wakes up at 8ish-9am. Takes a nap at:
11am
1pm
3pm
5pm

Goes for a bath and book at 7pm and is usually out by 7:30-8pm. Until recently he'd only wake up at 2am and 6am to eat but he is going through a growth spurt and is constantly up every hour to eat.

@HeatherC21 reminds me of my LO today. It was the first time anything like that's happened. She was playing on her mat and I got up to go to the bathroom. When I came back she was passed out lol

HeatherC21

Hehe I have one of those too

Nap 1: 9:15-10am in crib or in stroller if it's nice out and grandma is taking him for a walk
Nap 2: 11:30-2pm in crib
Nap 3: 4-4:15pm in crib
Nap 4: 6:30-7pm in crib

Nap 4 is always a struggle.. Last feeding is at 8:30pm and then he sleeps until 7am with usually 1 feeding around 3am

Usually DS does 4 naps but has occasionally done 3 depending on timing of the naps.

His length is totally inconsistent. If in his crib then 20-25 minutes. In my arms 1.5-2 hours. He has done the odd 2-2.5 hour nap in his crib. Timing of the naps depends completely on his last wake up time. I try to keep him awake for no more than an hour and a half at a time.

rae430

Usually an hour from 8-9, a catnap around 10:30, big nap from 12-2 or 12-3, and last nap from about 4:30-5:30. He's asleep around 7:30-7:45 every night.

courtneylevesque

I got one too. He loves his mat so much he'll play until he drops pretty much

Buckles0528

Wakes up at 6am and first nap is 8am-11 or 12. Then every 1.5-2 hours depending on how play time goes he naps about an hour. His last nap around 5:30/6 is negotiable and if he skips it bedtime is 7 instead of 8. He naps in his swing in the living room. Still too hot upstairs during the day.

gogona35

3 naps:
9-11 or 12
1-3
5-6
Bath at 7 and bedtime is at 8pm
She usually sleeps till 8am with one feeding at 6am.

supersarah77

3-4 naps per day. Two 30 min naps in the morning in the Beco, a long one in his crib 1-4ish, and one short one in the stroller after dinner.

My LO is 17 weeks old and he's been in his crib since 2.5 weeks for naps (if we're home) and overnight. He typically has a long nap in the morning (1 hr) and an even longer nap in the afternoon (2-3 hrs). He doesn't usually go more than 2 hours awake so he has catnaps also. We bathe at 7pm and he sleeps straight through until 5:30-6am.

I've been sticking to putting lo down to nap every 90 minutes or so, so the times vary depending on when he wakes. He does two 45 mins to 1 hour in the morning then one long 2-3 1/2 nap in the afternoon. Bedtime starts with a bath around 6:00 then a book and bottle. He usually will go down around 6:45-7:00. Wakes anywhere from 12:30 to 3:00 am for a feed then goes back down until 5:30 or 6:00 am. He has only slept through the night (10 hours) twice. Since he hit 12 weeks it's been pretty trying as he has been more irritable and fussy around naps and has been waking more during the night. I am hoping this is just a spurt or a leap because it's starting to really wear me out and I have to go back to work in 4 weeks. Thanks for starting this thread as I was wondering where other bumpers were at with their lo's.

My LO sleeps solid 8 to 10 hrs at night and a 3 ro 4 hr nap midday. All in rock n play with typically no waking

Buckles0528

For those napping in cribs do you do a sort of bedtime routine and put them in what they sleep in at night? Right now my little man sleeps in the crib at night in the merlin suit (although I don't think it made a difference) but during the day I wrap him in a light blanket and he snoozes in his swing for naps. Once my out of town trip is over I want to start naps in the crib. Since his schedule will be disrupted anyway I think that's a good time to start?

fwhittaker

2 longer naps (1.5-2 hours) and one cat nap usually at 15 weeks. 9-11, 1-3; and 5-5:30. She is asleep by 7:30, we do a dream feed at 9:30-10 then she usually sleeps until 7:15/7:30

Chichi93

My son doesnt ever sleep longer than 2 house still... Naps and over night. I'm up every 2 hours.

TessaGarringer

My son sleeps from 9:30pm until 9:30am. No waking up at night. Naps from 10:30 until 12:30 sometimes later then 2:30 until 4:30 or later. Then a small nap somewhere between 6 and 7

Do you use a pacifier? I think that's our problem with LO waking so often but I'm not sure how to get her to stop using it at night.

lunalii

Zeke takes 3 naps a day a two hour nap a hour after his morning bottle he normal naps from 9-11 am & then a short 30 minute nap from about 1-1:30pm and his last nap is normally 4-5pm and then he goes to sleep for the night between 7&8! Some days he dosent take his 4pm nap especially if we have company!

mrsmdjbetti

My LO goes down at 7pm and sleeps till 7 or 730am has been on formula since he was about two months old. I realize that everyone does their own thing but he's already eating solid foods he eats bananas peaches pears sweet potatoes squash I make him everything. He'll eat four oz of food before bed and a 4 ounce bottle and we don't hear people out of him. The ped said it was fine and that he is growing long and lean

MrsElizabethPlano

2 big naps, 3 cat naps, not sure on the times though...

kaycorey89

Today for example, LO was up around 10-1030am and stays up til about 12 then has a power snooze for about a half hour to 45 minutes and its usually in his swing. Around 2 he had a bottle then went down again for a couple hours in the afternoon the time varies, today it was from 330 to 6, played for a bit then at about 645 gave him his cereal, a bottle then got ready for bed, had a bath and put sleeper on and my boyfriends mom was here so she got him to sleep and put him down at 845, he was up at 1030 and had another bottle and back down by 1130. More than likely will sleep til 10 or so. Slowly trying to move him up in time so he's going down for the night at 9 and up around 9, but can't really complain with the schedule thus far.

CanadaMom17

We seem to be settled into sleep at night from 8 to 7, with a couple of feeds in bed in there about 3 and 6 (we bed share).  Then she has a power nap around 10 for 30 minutes to an hour.  Then she sleeps from 1 to 4ish, and then ideally another power nap around 5:30.  Some days she refuses to sleep at all though, so...

And, I need to start working on the crib, at least for naps.

newmommy2bXo

Mine naps a lot like maybe 4 times a day but they vary in time. Some days she will nap 30 minutes other days she will nap 1.5 hour
