When do longer naps occur?

DS is 3 months and I'm hoping for longer naps soon!

    I was wondering this too. Fiona decided that napping should only be 45 minutes at best.

    45mins sounds like heaven!! My LO now only sleeps if we go out in the car. I'm hoping once she starts moving about (crawling/walking) she will start to burn off more energy and thinks naps sound ok afterall :)
  • Madison thinks naps are for slackers! Been up since 6 am taking 15 minutes naps and sipping on the boobs is her new thing
  • Yep, no naps here. Snoozing is for losers!

  • When she's not feeling 100%, I'll get naps for a couple of hours.  Otherwise it's 3 30-45 minute catnaps.

  • Ellie's not a napper. 30 minutes feels like an achievement. I just accept that I'm not getting much of anything done.
  • Mine does one hour in the morning, 3 hours from 1-4 and then a 45 minute at about 6:30 and then sleeps through the night at 8:30pm-7am. However, my other DS, when he was a baby only did 20 minute naps, still doesnt sleep through the night and almost made me be one and done! I was so strung out and tired!

  • We get one in the morning that last 45min-1 hour and the afternoon is totally variable.  Yesterday, it was 4 hours.  Today, 1.5.  Last Friday, zero.  I found with DD1, that schedule and routine are key.  We keep her on a schedule, so DD2, is falling in along with it.  They both get up at 7 AM, take an AM rest at 8:30/9AM, up by 10AM, and down for their PM rest at 1PM.  Bedtime is always 7PM.
  • This is probably a freak occurrence, but my mom kept swearing up and down that one day Baby would just nap like a champ. Like some mystical magic would happen and he'd just do it without any effort. Just in the last week or so we went from 40 minute naps every hour and a half to two hours to 90 minutes every two and half hours. Like magic. I'm dumbfounded. And praying to heaven it sticks. [-O<
  • Why does that happen I feel bad she doesn't want to and fights sleep. I know she is tired rubbing her eyes I place her down startles awake n cries bloody Murder.
  • I started reading that healthy sleep healthy baby book and actually started looking for sleep cues to start a more specific schedule and to my surprise it actually works. If she gets a little fussy around 1:30, we go to the nursery, turn on the sound machine, close the blinds and nurse. I can put her in the crib and she'll sleep for 1-1.5 hours. Other times she cat naps and sleeps 9:30/10-9:30-10 the next morning so I don't force the nap too much.
  • Isaiah often will take a 3 hour nap, and a couple of shorter dozes. Evander never did such a thing, except as a newborn being snuggled...
