Their naps were often 3-3.5h and they slept the same amount at night compared to days with shorter naps if not longer/better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wake-3-month-old-from-long-nap-stop-swing#post-2458502 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:42:27 +0000 AggieDaze 2458502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: That sounds so great! My first was addicted to a schedule, but I'm hoping this one will be more flexible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wake-3-month-old-from-long-nap-stop-swing#post-2458499 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:41:29 +0000 AggieDaze 2458499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thank you! I've been sticking to that time limit thus far. I'm terrified about the 4 month sleep regression so think I keep questioning thinks in anticipation (LO1 slept through the night by 3 months and everything went to hell at 4 months until we eventually sleep trained at 7 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wake-3-month-old-from-long-nap-stop-swing#post-2458495 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:38:40 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2458495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wake DD from her naps (unless we have to make an appointment or something). She will occasionally sleep for 3–3.5 hours! It has never affected her nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wake-3-month-old-from-long-nap-stop-swing#post-2458491 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:35:30 +0000 hilsy85 2458491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AggieDaze: I woke my 3.5 month old up this morning because she had been napping for 2.5 hours! That's prob the longest I woud let her go, just because I don't want any confusion about naps/nigh ttime sleep, and I don't want her going too too long without eating. Your nap schedule sounds totally normal for that age, FWIW. And his night time sleep soudns great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wake-3-month-old-from-long-nap-stop-swing#post-2458473 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:28:38 +0000 AggieDaze 2458473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 month old's naps are confusing me.</p> <p>Nap 1 (crib) tends to last 45 minutes<br /> Nap 2 (crib) tends to last 30-45 minutes<br /> Nap 3 (swing) tends to last until I wake him up. Generally this is around the 2 hour mark because I don't like him going longer than 3-3.5 hours without breastfeeding.<br /> Nap 4/5 tends to be a hodge podge. Sometimes he falls asleep for 15 minutes in the car, but then he needs one more nap before bed and is a complete disaster to put down. </p> <p>I hate to stop the swing nap because LO1 naps from 1:30-3:30 and I like having a break... but I'm also not sure if it is the reason that our afternoons are so weird... and I know that too long of daytime naps sometimes result in bad nighttime sleep. (For reference, he's been going to sleep between 7 and 8:30 typically and sleeps for around 5-6 hours, then sleeps 3-4 hours generally - though some days are worse). </p> <p>Would you stop the swing naps? See if he'll nap a longer stretch in the crib?</p> <p>Would you wake your 3 month old from naps at a certain point? He's in this weird in between phase - not quite a newborn but not on a schedule either. </p>
