the 90 minute baby sleep program

Songbird2 · November 2014

Book Overview- babies run on about 90 mins from wake to needing sleep again. According to the book if you track the time it will make it easier to get your LO to sleep. The book claims this is the babies and all people's natural rhythm.

Back to me- we just got this book and started following it and so far naps have been easy peasy! Only problem is my LO takes very short naps. The longest is 45 mins. Have any of you followed this book? How did it work out? Tell me your stories! TIA

I've read that the sleep cycle is only 45 min long, which makes sense that they would get 2 sleep cycles per nap. We have similar issues of DS waking after 45 min. most nap times. Haven't figured it out fully yet.

I haven't read the book but when I started my LO on a similar schedule naps got so much easier. After about a hour and a half I put her down for a nap but cant get past the 45 min mark. Although sometimes she surprises me by sleeping 2 hours.

..... My baby doesn't nap anymore.. she just closes her eyes for extended breaks(like... 20 mins tops).... 0.0 (I shouldn't complain too much though really, we are sleeping 5 hour stretches through the night now and that my have something to do with the lack of napping.)

LO naps about 45 minutes but sometimes longer at a time. But since she has started sleeping longer at night her naps have gone down hill. After 1.5-2hours she needs to nap or she's overtired and fights it.

I went on troublesometots.com and it talks about something similar. It does say that their awake periods change with increased age. I've started following its guidelines and my day has become a lot more pleasant

Sept babies are napping? Mine still sleeps newborn style. He's like 50/50 during the day at 7.5 weeks. Or are those day sleeps what we 're talking about as naps. Mine will still go down for hours sometimes the whole 3.5-4 between bottles. I might read up in this book when my never awake problem switches to needing naps.

@MLE_C2B My 9 weeker also sleeps a lot during the day still. She will do a couple long stretches in the morning, and by the afternoon will catnap for 10-30 minutes at a time. I don't see much consistency yet...and I'm also in the bad habit of holding her for a lot of her day sleep because she wakes when I set her down.

I also have noticed that she really only stays awake about 60 minutes before losing her mind and needing to sleep, but that time gets longer in the evening, and will probably stretch out to 90 minutes eventually.

@biokitty42‌ I have a bad habit of holding mine too! She stays asleep longer when I hold her.

@biokitty42 my LO is the same age as yours! Mines still sleeping a lot too, as I was reading this and thinking, "damn, I broke mine...." But I saw your post and @MLE_C2B posts and was relieved!!

I've never read the book but try to never let LO stay up for more than 2 hours. He'll take a long nap in the morning but as the day goes on they get progressively shorter before he goes down for the night around 7 or 8.
