Naps?

adoxyinherear · November 2012

How many naps do your LO(s) take during the day? For how long?

DD isn't so much sleeping right now as lying in her bassinet playing with her hands. But I'll take it over random crabbing.

E takes about 4 naps, but they only last about 20-30 minutes each. I would much prefer her to consolidate and take 2 long ones, but hey, at least she's napping. She sleeps about 12-13 hours at night so I really can't complain.

DD sleeps for 10 or 11 hours a night, but her naps I feel like are all over the place. Some mornings she'll lay back down for two hours, others it's only 20 minutes. And we get out and about a lot in the afternoons, so she naps in the car or when I'm wearing her, but there's nothing consistent about it. So when we're home all day (like today), I'm convinced she's exhausted and fighting naps!

L takes 4 naps, usually. She's up for the day at 6 and takes a short 15 min nap at 7 on the way to MIL's. While there she takes a 45min- 1 hour nap around 11 and another around 2. Then she takes another short one 15-30 mins on the way home at 5. (All though, she's been skipping the last one the past couple days) She's ready for bed 7:30- 8.

Usually 3-4. Generall in the morning around 8 or 9, in the afternoon from 1-3, sometimes another midday or late afternoon, and then after I pick him up and feed him from 530 or 6 until 7 or 730 (perfect timing for DH and I to have dinner). I don't hold him to a tight schedule. If he is tired I let him sleep.

That's pretty much what we do, too. She's very predictable at night when it comes to bedtime and in the morning when she wakes up, but during the day it's a free for all!

Ben used to take two or three 2hr naps a day but the past 7-10 days he's probably taking about three or four naps 20min-30min long and he's sleeping now 7-8 hours straight at night!

i have used my moby in the house to get W asleep for a nap. He crashes every single time I get him in and walk for like 2 steps. I plan on using this to keep him on a schedule if naps once we find one that works for us.

I also don't really have dd on a schedule for naps, I just try to put her down for a nap if she has been awake too long or if she seems cranky. She usually only takes one long nap, between 1-3 hours and the rest of the day she is a cat napper sleeping for just between 10-30 minutes several times throughout the day. Although there are days where she just refuses to nap for longer than a half hour, it really depends on the day.

DD is almost always a cat napper and averages four 30 min naps each day. However, some days she demands to be held for her nap and those times she'll sleep longer, sometimes up to 2 hrs, with me doing some plugging with the pacifier when she stirs. I just try to make myself comfortable on the couch with pillow supporting the arm that's holding her and my phone & tv remote within reach, and slouched on the couch enough that I might be able to doze for 30 min or so myself. Not the safest thing but it's really hard to fight sleep when you're sleep deprived and have a warm, sleepy baby in your arms.

This is exactly how Mal is. She sleeps a good 11 hours at night then during the day it's never consistent. We try to follow the eat, activity/play, sleep. But lately its been eat, play, sleep, play, sleep, eat, sleep, etc

This is so us. E.A.S.Y. was working for us for awhile, but now she isn't usually sleeping long enough to really be hungry again! Ah, well, She seems happy, so I guess that's all that matters.
