Do they just take a lot of naps? My LO's max awake time is 1:45 or 2 hours MAX and these days he only takes 30 minute naps. So, doing the math......he takes a lot of naps. Is it the same for you?
FWIW I have lately been putting him down drowsy but awake, letting him fuss (so he falls asleep on his own) and he still only naps 30 minutes. Bah.

Yes, that was the story of my life for my son's first year. In the early months, he'd take 5 naps a day on some days.

My LO refuses to nap for longer than 45 minutes. He takes 3 of those each day (1 morning, 2 afternoon) and then sometimes he needs a shorter 20 minute nap in the early evening as he refuses to fall asleep before 8:30PM! I've been thinking about trying to see if he can go for a longer awake period in the afternoon (3 hours) and then try putting him down for a long nap but I'm afraid it'll backfire. I'm waiting until his 4 month well check in a couple weeks to talk to his doctor more about it.

I'd say we're exactly the same. He naps 30-45 mins every 1.5-2 hours. From wake up to bedtime it's usually 3 or 4 naps.

@cram88: Today it will be at LEAST 4 naps, possibly 5. Crazy!

@winniebee: That is a lot! Today will either be like 2 because he's home with my husband or a lot because he's getting shots!

@cram88: The first time he got shots he slept a lot....the 4 month shots.....not so much : (

YES. She is up at 6 or 7 every morning and down by 9 for first nap. This continues in 2 hour cycles, like you all day! Yesterday, she was fussy after a half hour nap so we took her for a walk. Came back into the house and I (shame) put her in her swing. We got an hour and a half to do things around the house!!

@mediagirl: wow! even the swing won't produce long naps for us anymore....
