Nap Schedule

Brock's 8 weeks today....how much does your LO nap during the day and for how long? I'm worried he's not napping enough. His morning nap I try to put him in the crib and that lasts about 30-60 minutes if I'm lucky...then he usually takes a big nap in the afternoon, about 2-2.5 hours in the swing. Then usually an hour nap in the early evening. Thoughts??

    Some days DD naps great, some days she hardly naps at all.  Today she napped for 2.5 hours total (all of it being cat-naps.)  This was after getting a total of seven hours of sleep last night.  She is in no way on a nap schedule yet....

    On a typical day with me (daycare may be different as he is still adjusting) is he will take about 3 naps.  One in the morning, afternoon, and early evening.  Sometimes the early evening nap doesn't happen.  He will usually sleep for around 2 hours, sometimes 3 hours.  There isn't an exact time he lays down for a nap yet, I have just been following his cues.

    I've been writing down DD's eating and sleeping routine for about 6 days now to see what patterns she has.  During the day she's on a predictable 2 hour rotation of eating for about 20 min, play until she has 2 yawns, then down for a nap.  That means she has about 4 one hour naps a day. Yesterday was 5 naps, but she was very fussy during the last one.  I would love it if she would sleep for longer naps and bunch them together, but I have really been enjoying the 7 hour sleep stretch she has at bedtime, so I don't complain.

    I think 3 naps a day is goal for 3-6 month old babies, with the morning nap being 1-2 hours, afternoon nap being 1.5-2.5 hours, and the evening nap being 45 mins-1.5 hours.  My little guy still naps a little more often than that but we are working towards 3 naps a day.

    I have also started tracking her sleep patterns to get an idea of any natural patterns that may be there. She tends to have 5 naps a day. So far there doesn't seem to be any consistency, with her naps, sometimes she's down for 30 mins, sometimes it's 2.5 hours. She's not sleeping well at night. On good days we get 4 hours, feed at 3, and then a couple of 2.5 hour stretches.

     I am also waiting for her to consolidate her sleep, both during her naps and at night time.
