Question for 6 monther Moms or almost 6 monthers

How many naps does your lo take?  My dd takes 3 but everything I read says she should be taking 2 that equal 3-4 hours.

He takes about 3 naps that total 2.5-3hours.

This.  But I'm okay with that, because when he's awake he's not cranky and he is also sleeping all night.

If that is the case, then my LO is definitely not normal.  My situation is a little different.  He takes many short naps at DC and because of this Friday he sleeps a lot (he is only in DC Tues, wed, & Thurs).  On normal days he takes around 4 naps usually, that are anywhere from 1/2 hour - 2.5 hours.  It all depends.  I wouldn't worry about it though!  Every LO is different!

My LO takes about 4 (1.5  to 2 hour) naps. She needs her sleep, otherwise she is a booger.

My son sometimes takes two naps for only 20-30 min each and some days he sleeps 2 hours.  I guess b/c he sleeps 12 hours at night, he doesn't really like to sleep during the day.  I do wish he slept more during the day, but I can't force him to.

Jackson usually takes 3 naps at DC and they usually last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.

3.  And the times vary.  She sleeps more at daycare than with me on the weekends.

Same. DD usually takes 2 naps that are only about 20 minutes long. Yesterday, she took one nap that lasted an hour.

Just this week DS has gone down to two naps a day and they are each about 1.5 - 2 hours.  I'm not sure if that will last though up until now he has fought sleep like crazy.

Tegan goes down for a nap every 2 hours and so she normally ends up taking 3 (maybe 4) naps a day. She goes to daycare 3 days a week (this is her last week, since I'm a teacher) and she doesn't seem to sleep very well there, so I don't count daycare days when it comes to her napping routine.

At home she normally takes 3 naps (sometimes she'll take a really short 4th nap in the evening) and they last anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours. She normally takes at least one long 2-3 hour nap a day. Starting next week (the first week of summer break, yay!!) I am going to try to get her on a solid napping schedule. We'll see how it goes, lol!

He usually takes about 3 shorter naps. Those things I would think they more equal 2-3 hours, although I don't time them. They just seem super short to me when I have tons to do

We are trying to get consistent, but so far we are having no luck.  Some days we have 2 long naps and some days we have 4 short ones, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason.
