It helps to set a consistent pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2126031 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 16:53:10 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2126031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep begot (??) sleep for us. When A started sleeping through his naps became a lot more predictable - I think also because I started waking him up at a consistent time in the morning, so he would go down at a consistent time for nap #1. It might have been a coincidence but his awake time increased dramatically when he started STTN - from barely 2 hours to at least 3. We were able to fall into a rough 2-3-3 schedule pretty soon after he consistently started STTN. Our transition to 1 nap has been remarkably easy too, and I was really dreading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125991 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 15:44:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2125991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>STTN let to great napping during the day but we had to be vigilant about paying attention to total wake time and hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. At almost 7 months, on an ideal day, DS sleeps about 11 hours a night and takes 2 naps during the day of about 1.5-2 hours each. I think his sweet spot at this age is about 14-15 hours of sleep a day so we watch for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125871 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 12:22:05 +0000 birdofafeather 2125871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, but she consolidated to 1 nap at the same time we ST to STTN. it's a nice long one still at over 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125870 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 12:17:53 +0000 ALV91711 2125870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't actually start STTN on a consistent basis until 20 months. Once he was his naps got so much better. Before we were lucky to get a 1.5 hour nap and now four months later it is a 2-2.5 hour nap. </p> <p>I totally agree that sleep begets sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125843 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 11:42:00 +0000 SweetiePie 2125843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for us. He started consistently STTN at 4 months. He's 6.5 monts now and his naps have only improved. He naps a good 4-5 hours a day total on top of 11-12 hours a night. I think there's SO much truth to the sleep begets sleep mantra.<br /> But, I'm sure the answers you'll get to this will depend on LO's ages when they started STTN. Obviously if they were older like 8 months or more (God bless you all, I can't imagine) it may be time for them to naturally drop or shorten naps. So may not actually be related to STTN but rather their age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125838 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 11:30:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 2125838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. o still naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125827 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 11:07:01 +0000 Andrea 2125827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it affected naps for either LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125814 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 10:31:17 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2125814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He still takes his two 2-2.5 hrs each naps a day. Hope she keeps napping for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125796 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:45:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2125796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Naps got way better actually!! We are in a sweet spot of usually sleeping through the night and then taking at least 2 hour naps during the day....sometimes longer. It's awesome. She has small regressions but nothing crazy. I hope it works that way for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125789 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:28:52 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2125789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually think the naps got better for us. But LO was never a great napper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125779 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:14:01 +0000 FaithFertility 2125779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 14 weeks old when she STTN it seems to be when naps suck........but then again she has done it when she has slept a lot but that might be growth spurts..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125770 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:06:36 +0000 Grace 2125770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO only started STTN a few weeks ago, at 18 months. It hasn't really changed her naps, but it makes her get up earlier in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-sttn-mean-shorter-naps#post-2125754 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:35:18 +0000 Bao 2125754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO who is 1 just recently started STTN after sleep training. Her naps have been ok the past 2-3 days but I'm worried she's going to shorten or drop them like her sister did around 15 months. I have a few months until that point but I'm super paranoid. </p> <p>Once your LO started STTN did that affect their naps at all? </p>
