Those naps look great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-638236 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:00:34 +0000 78h2o 638236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks a lot like my LOs schedule. Usually 3 naps, 1-3 hrs each. I'd say on average about 6 hrs napping per day when she's at home. Poor thing hasn't been napping well at daycare though. She only had one hour total on Monday... Today it appears that she did better though and got about 2.5 hrs total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637656 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:36:52 +0000 loveisstrange 637656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: My daughter was sleeping 16-18 hours a day until she was 8 months old. Even at nearly a year old, she still sleeping 14-16 hours a day. Some babies just need more sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637654 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:35:42 +0000 oahujeni 637654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I didn't mean to make anyone jealous, I really felt like something was off since his sleeping patterns changed so drastically. He is eating great and very alert when awake so I guess is ok after all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637632 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:24:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 637632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 hours up and 12 hours down or thereabouts. Sounds like you're doing great. And I'm with @Rubies, I'm jelly!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637630 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:22:33 +0000 chopsuey 637630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds right to me. At 3 months old they should be sleeping 15ish hours a day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637627 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:20:55 +0000 Rubies 637627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'll be forever jealous of you. I think if he's eating well and is alert when he's awake then you're all good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-3-month-old-napping-too-much#post-637626 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:19:34 +0000 oahujeni 637626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the past week, LO has been taking a lot of naps during the day, some of them over 2 hours. I follow his sleepy cues and put him down and it looks like this:</p> <p>8AM - wake up from about a 3-hour nighttime stretch<br /> 9:30AM - nap for 1 hr<br /> 12:00PM - nap for 1-2 hrs<br /> 3:30PM - nap for 2-3 hrs<br /> 8:30PM - Bed. He will sleep for 4-5 hours and then get up every 2-3 hours after that</p> <p>Don't get me wrong, the napping during the day seems great, but is there such a thing as too much napping? I feel like he's gone from being up almost all day to sleeping almost all day and it doesn't seem right. I wish all this daytime napping would equate to longer stretches at night! </p>
