It was frustrating, but honestly what made it better was giving up on trying to fix it. He grew out of it at around 8-9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1390017 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:20:31 +0000 daniellemybelle 1390017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: LO is in her crib for naps too, but if I scoop her up at the right moment very carefully I can rock her back to sleep. It's hit or miss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389531 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 08:24:53 +0000 illumina 1389531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: ugh! My Wonder Week app indicates she has 3 days to go of this leap! Though I highly doubt it is that accurate, wouldn't it be great if it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389476 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:45:22 +0000 jetsa 1389476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Jack's still in his 4th leap so I definitely think it could be the regression. My child hates sleep so idk other than that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389468 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:39:48 +0000 illumina 1389468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: thanks :heart: I think this is just going to be a strange sleep period until they go down to 2 solid naps after 6mths. At least, I hope they do, that's what I hear!</p> <p>@daniellemybelle: she's in her cot for naps, so I would have to pick her up to rock her which would fully awake her anyway. I've tried a different tactic just now and fed her right before putting her down...she's been asleep for an hour so far! :o </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389268 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:23:17 +0000 daniellemybelle 1389268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am desperately hoping this isn't the case for us too :( I am occasionally able to extend her naps by catching her before she completely wakes &amp; rocking her back to sleep. Have you tried that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389088 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:30:19 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1389088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing happening here! Naps suck. Nighttime sucks. There isn't much sleeping happening in this household at the moment :-/ We've weaned off the swaddle too, so not sure that is contributing, but he wasn't sleeping well swaddled either. I'm no help... just want you to know you aren't alone! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389083 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:24:19 +0000 sslm 1389083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to comment because that's about when the 30 min naps started, and we are still dealing with them at 9 months :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389073 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:20:27 +0000 MrsStormy 1389073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah we still have 30 minute naps here. I hope your good naps return soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1389036 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:05:15 +0000 Cherrybee 1389036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never got away from 30 minute naps, really! We get hr long ones, we get 45 mins, we get the odd 90 mins and the very infrequent 2 hour naps, but mostly is a half hour job. I wish I had some advice - just sympathy. Could be teething, could be the regression, could be the moon aligning with Venus....it seems the more I read the less I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388973 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:33:43 +0000 hilsy85 1388973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>COuld be the regression, could be the start of nap consolidation. </p> <p>If she's content to stay in her crib an extra 30 min I would leave her! The quiet time is good for her as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388968 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:31:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1388968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You betcha. </p> <p>At about 4-4.5 months exactly, we started getting ONLY 30 minute naps. Now at 5.5 months, we get the occasional longer nap, but only if she's swaddled. Since we're trying to ditch the swaddle, I anticipate the return of the 30 minute (or less) nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388960 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:29:07 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1388960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are solidly at 30 minute naps at 14 weeks and I don't expect any improvement any time soon :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388819 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:08:15 +0000 .twist. 1388819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be the regression. I wish I was more help! For all the reading I've done I feel pretty useless the sleep department! I can sympathize, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388747 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:42:24 +0000 Smurfette 1388747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly we were at 30 min naps at that age. It could just be the regression. Hits every baby at separate times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1388737 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:39:06 +0000 illumina 1388737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one? :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-return-of-the-30-minute-nap-at-45-months#post-1387946 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:36:46 +0000 illumina 1387946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the...? </p> <p>For the last few days a 30 minute nap has been sneaking in as the first nap of the day. It didn't bother me too much as we were still getting a 2hr nap at lunchtime and 1-1.5hrs in the afternoon. Then today we have had 3x 30 minute naps! Ugh! She is able to stay awake 2hrs between each one and I have literally got nothing done!!</p> <p>It seems late for the 4mth regression, no? Do you think that's what this is or is this the new normal until naps start consolidating around 6mths? I thought we had already consolidated as we haven't had 30 minute naps since she was about 10wks.</p> <p>Edited to add: Yesterday morning I decided to leave her to see if she would go back to sleep...she just looked around peacefully for another 30 minutes but didn't show any interest in going back to sleep! </p>
