He really didn't outgrow out. We moved to one nap at 12 months and then he started sleeping 1.5-2 hours, but generally his naps at 22 months are 1.5 hours max.

I realized I was keeping her awake too long. By the time she was giving tired cues, she was already overtired. I got her on an EASY schedule (you can google for age appropriate schedules). It really worked well. Also started using a swing for daytime naps which helped a lot as well(but I know swings don't work for all babies)

We tried everything with my first. Naps didn't get longer until she transitioned to one nap around 22 months. My second's got longer on a steady 2-nap schedule around 6 months.

My son got better at 8 months then bad again then better at 12 months when we switched to one nap

Dd was the same (not quite as bad) and is getting longer naps now at 10 months.

Hang in there!!

LO1 was a catnapper and I want to say she got better somewhere in the 6-8 month range (basically when she consolidated to 2 naps). After that, she was a champion napper. However, we had to make sure she napped in her crib (no naps on the go!) otherwise she'd fall back in the catnap trap. So that was hard.

LO2 is a catnapper right now at 5 months and I'm really hoping he consolidates soon, although the nice thing is that on weekends, we just take him out and he dozes in the carseat or carrier and we don't worry about it. I am not looking forward to being trapped in the house for his naps in the future.

We had a rough stretch right around that point as well but we kept fighting the good fight and kept trying to put her to sleep in the crib. We used the moms on call sample schedule for setting nap times and if she woke too soon, we would go back in and help her get back to sleep. Around 5 months, we started getting longer stretches and we adjusted her schedule to two longer naps. Have you ruled out all medical issues? We had a reflux situation that I think contributed to poor sleep for awhile.
