Naps..how long is too long? what's your LO do?

rachlee2010

My LO usually naps for 20-40 min.  Occasionally he will go close to an hour and if he is in teh swing or car he will nap longer.

Today he has been asleep in his crib for 2 hours and 45 min..I'm so shocked..he's sleeping on his belly which is new for him..just started rolling back to belly.  I hope this is his new normal and not a fluke.  Is there a too long amount to nap? should I wake him at any point?

I would enjoy it! The only reason I would wake from a nap at this point is if it starts getting too close to bedtime.

I agree  - could be many reasons. Let him sleep. Don't move his bed time too much tonight if any.

I didn't wake him..he slept 2 hours 45 min which is great..The only reason I may move his bedtime up a tiny bit tonight is I don't think he is going to nap again so he will be up a pretty long stretch for him and we switched to 4 bottles today instead

Mine sleeps anywhere from 30mins to 3 hrs. And sleeps 10 hrs through night just wakes to eat and goes right back to sleep. I would not wake a baby that is sleeping unless you really need to.

DD has taken naps that are 3 hours and even 4 hours and it doesnt affect night time sleep.  I would see your LO does at night but you may be surprised that it may not be a big deal at all.
