How long, on average, are your baby's daytime naps?

jen83mn · November 2015

My 13-week-old naps for 35-50 minutes in his crib, but can nap for a few hours if on my lap. Just wondering if others have had success getting their baby to nap longer in the crib, or if it's normal for this age to still be taking short naps.

He takes on average 3 naps a day. 2 are usually 40 minutes or less and the 3rd ranges from 1.5-3 hours depending on how lucky I get that day.

He naps in his rock and play still.

She takes 2 naps a day, each at 2 hours apiece. If she's leaping she usually will go down about 30 min earlier. We have a naptime routine similar to her bedtime routine which I think helps.

This was shared on the FB page and turned my 45 minute napper into a 3.5 hour nap today. It really works.

I've been having the same problem, she sleeps in her cot for about 45min to 1hr, 2 hrs if I'm lucky. I'm trying to sleep train her this week. Wish me luck!

At this point she usually takes an hour nap in the AM and a 2-ish hour nap in the PM. She also takes little snoozes and cat naps throughout the day...like in the car.

^This. LO is at DC, but he naps from 9:30-10 in the mornings and 1-3:30 in the afternoons. But he also sleeps from 9-5 solid every night.
