Preemies

How much should she sleep/nap?

I've seen different charts, and most say  (for her adjusted age) she should be awake for 1.5 hrs between naps... is this true for preemies?  LO sleeps from 8:30pm to 4:30am, then until 7:00amish with 3 or 4 naps during the day.  If we go in the car or for a walk she zonks out.

I'd call my pedi but he generally doesn't take into consideration that she is a preemie.  He is very flexible, but because she did so well health wise he doesn't think it is necessary.

Re: How much should she sleep/nap?

  • I watch their cues vs worry about amount of sleep. My boys show obvious signs of needing a nap. They'll yawn, rub their face or eyes, and just look kind of droopy. So we play until the signs appear and then lay them down for a nap. Now they have a loose schedule but it took awhile to form.
