DD is the world shortest napper. She is up for about 90 minutes and then naps for 30. Just wondering if anyone is dealing with this, and also wondering when the 2 longer daily naps come into play?!?

    Mine too. She never naps more than 45 minutes and wakes up still tired. I'm going to ask the Pedi about it.

    A few of my friends who believe in crying it out told me to just leave her in the crib for a full hour and she will fall back asleep, but I just cant do it!

    DD is a terrible napper.  Maybe a couple times a week she'll go a full hour, but usually her naps are only about 30-45 min.  :(

    Me me me!!!  DS usually takes 3 naps per day.  His morning nap is usually the longest and it sometimes reaches an hour.  His afternoon nap is anywhere from 10-30 minutes.  The evening nap lasts about 20 minutes.  He doesn't seem tired after them though, he is usually wide awake and ready to go!

    C generally only takes 30-45 minute naps. Sometimes I luck out and get a longer one out of her. Not sure when or if it will change though.

    Me!

    DD's naps are so random.  She will usually take a couple short naps - maybe 15-20mins during the day before I come home from work.  And then later in the afternoon she might take a longer nap - can be 30mins or could be 2hrs

    Yes, my LO only naps 30 min at a time but since he's been going to daycare (started a week and half ago), his provider says he napped for 2-3 hours which is unheard of for me and DH.

    But we rather have a baby that sleeps through the night and takes cat naps than to have a baby who naps all the time but is awake at night.

    DS is the same way.  The only way to get him to sleep longer than 30-45 minutes is to nap on my chest.

    Yes.  He'll sleep for 3 hours in the morning, but in the afternoon I'm lucky if he'll go down for more than 30 minutes.  He sleeps through the night though, so I guess I can't really complain.
