Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Let's talk about naps please

I know, I know, everyone is sick of talking about nap times. But I need to hear from you ladies. I've been away from bumping lately (family issues and DD is a lot more active now). So, how DD napping is again all over the board starting right about the 7 month mark. How much is your 7 month old napping and what's your bed time? I'm curious if we need to shift things a bit and maybe bed time needs to be earlier. Thanks for your input on yet again another sleep related post.

  • Naps?? What's a nap?? LOL... That is what we deal with!! DS has 2 or 3 naps during the day but they literally last 10-15 min each! He goes to bed for the night at 7pm and wakes up at 6am!

  • She was a catnapper but now is down to 3 a day. 

    morning 30 min

    afternoon 1hr 20min

    late afternoon 45min-1hr20min

    bedtime... 7:30-8pm but we are not very consistent. No matter what time she goes to bed she wakes up at 6:30AM ... even when she went to bed at 10pm!

    Wow!!! She's very consistent!! DD is also a catnapper but sometimes surprises me with a 2 hr nap here and there. Does you DD wake up in the middle of the night? Mine wakes up a few times.
  • Wake: 6:00am-6:30am

    Nap: 10am (30-45min)

    Nap: 2pm (30-45min)

    Nap: 6pm (30-45min)

    Bedtime: 8:30pm-9:00pm

    Rough schedule... 

  • At right about 7 months S started to nap weird again- 30 mins 3 times a day.

    First she was cutting a tooth, then she learned to crawl and finally in the last week she is trying to cut down to 2 naps.  

    So some days we are still at 3 bad naps and some days we are at 2 really good long naps.  I have noticed that the nights we actually get her in bed at 6:30 (the goal bedtime) she will have better napping the next day.  She will also nap better if I put her down right at the first sign of tiredness.

    I am chalking her bad sleep up to normal baby growing since she is getting back on track.

  • One early morning nap for about 45 minutes and then maybe another one in the afternoon for 45 and a definite one around 1 for two hours. Bedtime is between 6-7.

  • *Sigh*

    Tegan was taking 3 naps a day, a morning nap that would last between 45-90 minutes, an early afternoon nap (starting normally between 11:30 and 12:30) that would last at least 1.5 hours, normally 2-2.5 hours, and a 30-45 minute late afternoon nap. Her bedtime is at 7-8 PM and she sleeps till 6-8 AM.

    The bedtime has stayed the same, but lately her naps have started shifting and it's getting more difficult to get her to sleep.

  • I'm lucky to get one nap most days....she catnaps in the car mostly!  Today she did nap from 9-11 and then for 30 mins in the car.
  • We still go down every 2 hours after being woke.  It ranges from 45min to 3 hours.  We are following Weissbluth and it is working for us.
