She is almost 6 months and now takes at least an hour nap, sometimes more. She was taking 20-45 minute naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-591330 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:20:22 +0000 immabeetoo 591330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orvis18: oh I am so hopeful! I feel like that's the age I've heard most.... 3 months to go fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-590249 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:37:38 +0000 bushelandapeck 590249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just recently started napping better (6 mos). I'd say it changed right around 5-5.5 months. Before that, he was taking three or four 30-45 min naps each day. It was exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-590197 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:50:49 +0000 littlek 590197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO does 30 minute naps at daycare but he monster naps on the weekend. I think the issue is that the normal sleep cycle is 30 minutes and if they don't know to self soothe themselves back to sleep, they wake up eventhough they are still tired. But that's just my opinion... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-590169 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:31:03 +0000 immabeetoo 590169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping! 3 months tomorrow an 30 minute naps (and refusal to nap in car seat) are making me nervous were going to be shut ins even once the weather gets nicer. His awake times suffer bc he's never getting that great of naps no matter what I do! I sure hope he grows out of it sooner... Or gets better about going down for them at least :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312801 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:14:43 +0000 jennylynn 312801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months, and her naps usually range from 30-45 minutes. I used to try to fight her on it, and make her sleep longer, but I've just accepted that that is how she naps and go with it. It kinda sucks because it's hard to get anything done, but we make it work. I'd love to be able to shower AND do my hair all in one nap, but it's just not gonna happen :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312783 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:05:34 +0000 leelee 312783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same situation. DD was a good napper until 12 weeks, then her naps went from 1+ hour to thirty minutes :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312755 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:54:40 +0000 luckypenny 312755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 5 months &amp; is pretty much the same. 30-45 min naps swaddled every 90 minutes. I try to stretch them out longer but she gets so overtired &amp; fussy if I wait any longer. Le sigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312666 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:58:03 +0000 cvbee 312666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's baby just outgrew his 30 minute naps at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312625 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 312625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say end of 6, beginning of month 7. He started consolidating his cat naps into two longer ones. It was rough for a couple of weeks (sometimes I had to drive him for an afternoon catnap, which he sometimes still needed but refused in the crib.) But smooth sailing after that until month 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312574 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:03:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 312574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a lot of babies become better sleepers after 6 months. for us it was 8 months when we nap trained, but it wasn't really nap training since she didn't cry. once she was putting herself to sleep instead of being rocked/nursed down, she started taking hour and a half+ naps. before then they were 15-30 min! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312528 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 08:45:21 +0000 IcebergMom 312528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to do CIO (around 10 months) to improve LO's napping and get us past the 45 min wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312521 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 08:43:10 +0000 baby98765 312521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine stretched to 40 minutes around 5 months but I didn't get a good nap out of him until around 8 months when he got into a 2-a-day nap routine (established by me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-outgrow-the-30-minute-nap#post-312438 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:49:40 +0000 winniebee 312438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a 30 minute napper (which I used to have a good napper, now at 4 months he's a 30 minute napper) when did he/she outgrow it? </p>
