She usually starts getting tired around 1.5 hours awake and hardly ever goes longer then 2 hours. DD is five months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535664 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:34:51 +0000 Running Elley 535664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 times a day. Usually 3 at 16 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535291 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:30:36 +0000 sera_87 535291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's naps 3x a day - anywhere from. An hour to 1.5 the first time, 2 hrs the 2nd and the last one is flux depending on what we're doing. He wakes up 2-3 times at night. I'm thinking its time to try to shift his last nap so he goes to bed eariler/easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535169 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:20:09 +0000 hilsy85 535169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 an they last from 45 min to 2.5 hours. He's 14 wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535165 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:18:15 +0000 lemondrop 535165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! This week he seems to be going for only 1 long afternoon nap of 2-4 hours at 12 months. I had hope reading about Olive going to one nap at 15 months, w would have more time, but it looks like Cam isn't following that pattern :( I miss the 2 nap days!! </p> <p>Of course with this nap change, his night sleep has gone to crap too. He had been sick a lot lately, so I'm hoping it gets better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535102 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:50:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 535102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: the 90 minute thing is new...just in the past week or so, before we started nap training. He was going 2 hours between before that, but would also only nap for 20 minutes in my arms, and was cranky a lot. </p> <p>So he just woke up...3 hours later. I think that's the longest nap he's ever taken. I was concerned about the brevity of his naps, and by the end was getting concerned about how long it was lasting...moms can't win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-535068 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:34:48 +0000 twinmama 535068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to write this same post! They still take 4 naps a day at 6 months...anywhere between 30 and 90 min.</p> <p>My kids still kind of prefer a 90min awake cycle, but i'm trying to encourage them to extend to 2 hrs or so, and then 3 hours before bed. I find if they stay awake longer, they will usually extend some naps, but not all, and they can fall asleep faster. I often have to actively try to keep them awake by going shopping or using the jumper at home. For the last 3 hr wake time it can be a job, but it's usually only like 15 minof getting them over the hump,and then they are good til bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534990 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:01:40 +0000 winniebee 534990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534967 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:53:11 +0000 chopsuey 534967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>today none. usually she takes 1.<br /> ds sleeps around the clock still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534963 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:51:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 534963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she takes 3-4 a day, generally they are 40 min on the dot, sometimes 1 hour or so. about every 2 hours she sleeps! she's 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534879 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:20:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 534879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And then of course for this nap he's now been down almost an hour and a half! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534837 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:11:11 +0000 winniebee 534837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO took 30 minute naps from 4-6 months regardless of what I did. I tried everything. He basically just grew out of it over time and once he started napping a little longer, he could stay awake longer. At right around 6 months his awake time stretched to 2 hours. It kept getting a little longer and now at 8.5 months we have 2 naps and his awake time is 2 hrs, then 3, then 4. It can be a little rough if he wakes from his afternoon nap too early, but I'm so over the 3rd nap because he fights it and wakes up cranky anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534757 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:52:19 +0000 BelugaBean 534757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is about 6.5 months old and for a couple of weeks around 6 months she was taking like 5-6 naps a day. Now she seems to do anywhere from 2-4 depending on the length of the nap and what we've done that day. It doesn't affect her sleep at night when she naps more and she still seems happy though. I assumed maybe it was a growth spurt? Also, after all the naps, she's been coming through with milestones so I figured she may have been tired from trying to figure those out too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534694 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:42:20 +0000 Weagle 534694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that at that age, they should be able to consolidate sleep into 2-3 naps without changing night sleep. Maybe try getting him through the 30-45 minute wake up to extend his naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-naps-does-your-lo-take-1#post-534671 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:37:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 534671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The past several days E has averaged being awake 90 minutes between naps and napping for only about 1/2 hour each time. I've tried stretching his awake time out a little more, but like clockwork he'll start rubbing his eyes and refusing to do anything except lie on the floor and get increasingly cranky. Right now we're averaging 5-6 naps a day. </p> <p>He's nearing 6 months old, is this behavior normal? Should I be concerned or just go with it? He's been sleeping great at night--I usually get 11-12 hours, with 1-2 wakeups.</p> <p>ETA: I'm almost certain he's started teething again...do you think they're connected? </p>
