Then got bad again before we did one nap around 11 months. But she jut doesn't take long naps and never really has except for the newborn being held naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685876 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:23:02 +0000 LindsayLou 2685876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo has never been a great napper. She started cat napping at around 4 weeks, and didn't stop until around 14 months, at which point she finally started taking one solid nap, at least most days. She's an awesome night sleeper and a crap day sleeper. Her low point was around 5-7 months, she would nap for an average of 45 minutes a day total, broken up into 10 or 15 minute chunks. It was bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685862 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:06:02 +0000 autumnlove 2685862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 3 started cat napping around 4-5 months and she didn't take long naps until she was 12 months! :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685837 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:26:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2685837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Sadly normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685820 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:01:34 +0000 Freckles 2685820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES, A catnapped if he was in the crib but would sleep forever if i wore him in the Ergo or pushed him in the stroller. He slept well for the first 2.5 months but then would just catnap. He couldn't sleep longer than 45 minutes! I tried to sleep train him at 4 months (fail), 6 months (fail) and finally at 8 months i was able to nap train him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685793 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:42:04 +0000 Smurfette 2685793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P is three weeks old today and starting this. If I put her down she will nap for 30 mins no more. If I hold her she will sleep longer. I hate cat naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685792 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:41:45 +0000 winniebee 2685792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep....DS1 cat napped (30 mins on the button) from 4-5.5 months.</p> <p>DS2 did cat naps (40 mins) from around 3 months to 7.5 months!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685759 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:12:08 +0000 Adira 2685759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: As they get older, their awake time gets longer, so their routine becomes a little more predictable, even if the catnap length isn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685755 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:07:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2685755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G was and still is the MASTER CAT NAPPER</p> <p>AJ is on and off different days<br /> Today woke at 7<br /> Napped 8-8:45<br /> Up 8:45-10<br /> Is napping still from 10?!</p> <p>Same routine going down both times ...who knows </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685753 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:06:47 +0000 sandy 2685753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: noooo 😩 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685752 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:05:31 +0000 Adira 2685752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Both my kids were HUGE catnappers until ~9 months when they went to two solid naps a day. Unfortunately, it's pretty normal!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catnapping#post-2685751 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:02:58 +0000 sandy 2685751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since he turned 6 weeks he has gone from doing 2 hour naps to 45-60 minute naps. He's 9 weeks today and he's still basically taking catnaps all day and it's rare that I can settle him back to extend the nap. I don't remember my oldest taking so many cat naps. Rarely he'll do a long nap here and there. He's able to put himself down for his naps but for some reason he can't get through that first sleep cycle. It's frustrating bc he's clearly still tired and it leads to a super short awake time and then another cat nap and repeat all day. Fortunately he does do long stretches of sleep at night (probably bc he's so tired from catnapping all day!)</p> <p>So I'm wondering: Did your LO catnap? Did he/she eventually grow out of it? When did he/she start taking longer naps again? </p>
