Some kids take longer than others. I tried everything, but in our case we just had to wait for our daughter to take the lead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111813 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:46:44 +0000 Mrsjets 1111813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: I will have to try it out, I'm pretty sure he's ready. I can't believe how fast they've grown :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111803 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:31:46 +0000 junebugmama 1111803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: Jax was doing the same thing. He would take about a 30 minute nap around 10am. However, cutting down to one nap, has certainly made our bedtime routine shorter (except when teething). It's also nice to get a big chunk of time to myself. He naps from about 11:30 to 2 everyday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111800 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:29:32 +0000 Mrsjets 1111800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: I'm so scared to transition to 1 nap! J is still taking 2 good naps but his morning one has shortened to in and around an hour. Sometime less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111789 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:24:09 +0000 junebugmama 1111789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6 months he went down to three naps. At 10 months 2 naps, and now at 16months he takes one 2-3 hour nap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111779 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:16:01 +0000 boots 1111779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months tomorrow! Recently she dropped her 4th 30 minute nap of the day, and we've been getting a good 60-90 minute nap in the mornings pretty consistently for the last week or so. I'm hoping it sticks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111758 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:00:49 +0000 MamaCate 1111758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sad to report that 45 minutes was a "good" nap around here until LO was 12 months. Then she got down to one nap and was able to stretch it to 90-120 minutes most days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111738 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:52:11 +0000 starberry 1111738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ack!! I'm so jealous of all these long naps!! I am happy with even an hour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111602 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 20:26:49 +0000 immabeetoo 1111602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starberry: we didn't see nap consolidation until about 5.5 months when he started sleeping on his tummy. it was a slow process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111421 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:57:07 +0000 deerylou 1111421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 weeks here; DD takes a 2-3 hour nap in the morning, and two more hour long naps in the afternoon and early evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111408 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:46:14 +0000 sslm 1111408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 months we're getting three. 30-45 min naps. I'm really hoping they get longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111383 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:30:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1111383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks and her naps are ALL over the place. We might have a day where she takes two 3 or 4 hour naps (rare) and then there are days when she takes 1 half hour nap (more common :( ) </p> <p>Average is about 2-3 hours though. It's just not consistent at all. I will love when they are predictable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111306 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:06:02 +0000 Pepper 1111306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months here and he takes a 2-3 hour nap in the morning/afternoon and a short 45 minute nap in the early evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111230 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:31:42 +0000 Penny Lane 1111230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months when I moved him to 2 naps. until then I had never gotten a nap longer than 40 min.

I look forward to him moving to two longer naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-longer-than-25-50-minutes#post-1111190 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:20:50 +0000 starberry 1111190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO start taking longer naps? We only get 25-50 min naps around here.</p> <p>I've heard nap consolidation can start to happen around 3 months, but I'm curious about others experience. </p>
