How is it working for you? We aren't on any type of schedule just yet, I'm following their lead. I may try to get more of a schedule going soon.

We don't have a schedule yet.  She naps for 40 mins at a time but has yet to surpass that limit.  I wish I could figure out how to help her consolidate them into 2 bigger naps.

Same here Ethan takes about 4 small naps a day about an 1 1/2 to 2 hours after he eats! No schedual or pattern to them, I can tell when he's fussy and nothing else is helping him that he's tired.

He sleeps between every bottle, but sometimes only for 20 minutes. His bottles are at 6 am, 9 am, noon, 3 pm, 6 pm. His long nap (couple of hours, sometimes more) is usually right before or right after his noon bottle. If we're home on the weekends, he'll take a longer nap between the 6 am and 9 am bottles, too.

We are all over the place with naps.  She usually naps 1.5-2hrs after she eats, and usually for only 40 mins.  Every few days or so she'll take a  1.5-2hr nap...usually just after lunch or at 3ish.  Sometimes she does that 2 days in a row, and I feel like maybe there is some sort of routine...and then it stops!

We are on a pretty hardcore schedule - DS naps at 8, 11, and 2 for about 45 minutes (unfortunately). Every now and then one of the first two naps will be up to about 90 minutes and I hope it happens more and more often bc even though he goes right to sleep without a fight he wakes up crying which is usually a sign of insufficient sleep...

If DS is being really cranky and yawning after his 2pm nap I will give him a little catnap of 20 or so min on the boob, in the stroller or in the car around 4. If he doesn't promptly pass out I keep him up since he goes down for the night at 6.
