Unless I was holding him of course, then he would nap for an hour. Sometime around a year, he started napping really well at daycare - for an hour +. Now at 19 months he pretty consistently naps for an hour and forty minutes at daycare and up to two hours at home! It is a miracle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492092 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:35:07 +0000 Shantuck 2492092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a newborn, my son never slept during the day but like yours did pretty well at night starting at 11 weeks. We got onto a great nap schedule by following the "schedule" in the Moms on Call books. As soon as we fell into that schedule, the naps kind of magically fell into place. Definitely recommend that series of books for figuring out sleep and feeding schedules, habits, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492091 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:35:06 +0000 Madison43 2492091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One nap around 14 months. Since then its been consistently a 2 - 3 hr nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492082 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:30:42 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2492082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same about when he dropped to one nap! Now he sleeps 2-3 hours. I have to go in half way through but before I couldn't do anything to get him to sleep longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492079 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:27:43 +0000 Charm54 2492079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 was an awesome STTNer but a terrible napper. She finally started napping well at 12 months when she dropped down to 1 nap a day - it would be 2 hours long - I couldn't believe it! Now at 2.5 she naps anywhere from 1.5-3 hours, but mostly 2 still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492076 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:25:31 +0000 Cherrybee 2492076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was always a terrible napper but also a poor night sleeper. Her naps didn't improve to anywhere near normal-for-her-age until she moved to one nap at 18 months ish. Then, suddenly, she started taking a 2hr nap every lunchtime! I hope your baby sorts it out quicker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nap-hating-baby-ever-nap-well#post-2492066 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:16:17 +0000 LindsayLou 2492066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your baby hated naps or just didn't nap well, did it ever get better? When? How?</p> <p>My 6 month old has never been a great napper. She has always slept awesome at night, mostly sleeping through the night by 6 weeks. So I haven't been super concerned about the napping. But this week has been an all time low in the nap department, and I'm starting to lose my mind. Her best nap day of the week was yesterday. She woke up for the day at 7:30, took a 5 minute nap at 1pm, and a 50 minute long nap at 3pm. She didn't go to bed until 9pm. The worst day of the week, she was up from 5:50 am til 8 pm with only 25 minutes of nap time throughout the day. Please tell me this will get better. </p>
