My LO (4.5 months old) was like yours - great nighttime sleep and terrible naps. Our daytimes were pretty stressful with a crabby and overtired baby, so we started nap training and aside from the occasional setback (regression, growth spurt, illness, etc.), she is doing much better and her naps have never affected her nighttime sleep. In fact, a lot of people believe that sleep begets more sleep, so that's something to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-training-if-night-sleep-is-great#post-330349 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:15:23 +0000 LouLouBelle 330349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious for some thoughts....LO is great at night - goes into her crib awake at 815 an sleeps til around 5 am. If she does wake, she gets herself back to sleep. However, she is a HORRIBLE napper. Only 30 min naps, a few times a day, once or twice a week we get an hour. We have to get her to sleep before putting her down for naps - she won't go in awake - and it takes forever for only a 30 min nap! She rarely seems overtired but only gets about 12 or 12.5 hrs of sleep in 24 hrs. She is 6 mos.</p> <p>Question: should I nap train? Or will that mess up her nighttime sleep? The naps (or lack thereof) are killing us! </p>
