Re: naps..how long...?
Early in the day DS naps for about 30-45 minutes, 2-3x. Come evening he cat naps for about 15-20 minutes here and there, maybe 3-4 times.
I dont' feel he naps enough, but I think it's because he doesn't nap for long periods of time. I try to put him down when he's been up for around an hour, but that doesn't always work. We're also on an every 2ish hour feeding schedule (EBF) so that is mostly why he cat naps - he falls asleep after a feed lots of times.
I say not enough and I am glad there are others that are the same. Maybe our LO's are ok!!
She will sometimes take a 1 to 2 hour nap mid morning and than naps about 30 minutes prior to her bottles for the rest of the day (every 3 hours). She will usually skip a nap or two. At night will sometimes go anywhere from 4 to 7 hours between bottles (7 being rare).
To sum it up, she will sleep between 4 to 5 hours sporadically throughout the day.
My Birth Story
Yeah same boat here with not enough! After we get up for the day, I'd say on a good day he naps for about 3-4 hours. Other days it seems like he cap naps for 10 or 20 minutes here and there, and I'm lucky if I get a total of 2 hours through the day.
3x 1.5-2 hour naps followed by 1x30 minute catnap in the evening.
ETA: We also do EASY (I saw in your other post that you are as well) and have been since week 2. It really pays off in my opinion!!
She goes down for the night at 7:30 (like clockwork), I dreamfeed her at 10pm and she sleeps through to her waketime of 6am. Woot!
