Nap Questions

Just out of curiosity...

How long does it take you LO to fall asleep for a nap? If they do 2+ naps a day, how long are they usually?

DD used to nurse herself to sleep for naps, but now fights it-it's like she wants to be put down awake or something. Sometimes it takes her as long as 30-45min to fall asleep-she rarely cries, but just plays and babbles/grunts to herself in her crib.  She used to do 2 decent naps a day, each at least an hour and a half. Lately, her morning nap isn't so good-maybe 30-40min and her afternoon one varies (sometimes 1.5 hours, sometimes up to 3 hours). Just wondering if all of this is typical for a 7.5mo old....

  • It always could be 10 seconds to 45 minutes - usually 15 minutes or so on average.

    When Evan was taking 3 naps - he'd do 1.5 hrs in the am, 1.5 hrs in the afternoon and 30 minutes in the pm (approx)

  • Evan used to be really easy to put down for naps... until about a month ago when he learned to pull him self up and stand in the crib. Now that is much more fun! So he usually plays in there for 10-30 minutes until he falls asleep. Right now I can hear him in there turning his musical fish tank on and off and banging on the wall. He's been at it for about 20 minutes now, so I hope he falls asleep soon!
