I know the saying is good sleep begets good sleep so maybe your LO will just be a champion sleeper regardless if it's a nap or nighttime! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wasis-your-5-month-olds-nap-schedule#post-1328199 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:46:40 +0000 GrapeCrush 1328199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: this is A. 15 mins here, 30 mins there...like really kid?!?! mommy needs a break lol</p> <p>@Alivoo01: @lawbee11: thanks! nap boot camp is starting today. I just don't want to eff up her night sleep...she is STTN, and well, we'd rather have her STTN and not nap, than the opposite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wasis-your-5-month-olds-nap-schedule#post-1328189 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:43:17 +0000 JessKas 1328189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hates naps too. She'll go down an hour or two after waking and sleep for 45 minutes max. Mostly 20 minutes though. The rest of the day is a crapshoot. She fights sleep and won't sleep long most of the time. On super lucky days she'll take a 1-1.5 hour nap, but that's only when she's on me. Lots of days she'll only take 2-3 15 minute naps. ALL DAY LONG. Apparently I wasn't much of a napper either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wasis-your-5-month-olds-nap-schedule#post-1328080 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:08:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1328080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 5.5 months and is normally ready for a nap about 1.5-2 hours after he wakes up in the morning. That nap is usually anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour at daycare or 1.5 hours if he's at home.</p> <p>He's ready for another nap around noon (give or take an hour). This nap is usually 2-3 hours depending on where he's napping.</p> <p>He's been skipping his 3rd nap this week, but previously, it'd be around 6pm and it's usually a quick power nap (30 minutes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wasis-your-5-month-olds-nap-schedule#post-1328078 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:07:54 +0000 lawbee11 1328078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5 months old. She normally wakes for the day between 7:30-8. If she wakes at 8 she is tired by 9/9:15, so that's when I start her nap routine. She's asleep by 9:30 and normally sleeps until 11/11:30. Her next nap is usually 1.5-2 hours after she wakes from her morning nap (so around 1:30). She'll sleep another 1.5-2 hours. Depending on when she wakes from that nap we may try to squeeze a short 30-45 min nap in before bed (we start bedtime routine at 6:45). </p> <p>Her naps greatly improved once we swaddle weaned at 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wasis-your-5-month-olds-nap-schedule#post-1328064 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:02:05 +0000 GrapeCrush 1328064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is 5 months old and hates to nap! She will fight it and fight it with all her being! She will sleep on us mainly, which isn't ideal to begin with, but really isn't when I also have a 20 month old running around like a wild man. She usually wakes between 7:00-7:30, and honestly will got hours and hours before her first nap, until one of us rocks her to sleep and holds her(the second we put her down, she's wide awake). It's so crazy to me that she hates to nap because her brother would nap like a champ, and still does. </p> <p>What was your 5 month olds nap schedule? I am starting to nap train her, and I just can't for the life of me remember when DS slept at this age. She sleeps fine at night from 7:30-7/7:30. She's swaddled at night, which I want to wean soon. I just swaddled her for her nap, but hate to get in the habit of it because of wanting to wean her soon. I hate baby and toddler sleep! </p>
