naptimes?

[PeachBaby]

how often do your lo's nap? how many times a day? how many min/hrs?

DS is 8.5 months. He just recently went from 3 to 2 naps per day.
He usually wakes up between 8:30 and 9:30am and takes his first nap between 11am and noon, usually 40 minutes, but occasionally 90.
He takes his second nap between 3 and 4pm, depending on how long nap #1 lasted. #2 is usually one of his "longer" naps, but I always make sure he's up by 4:45 at the latest or his whole schedule is thrown off for days.

DS naps 2-4 times a day at fairly random times/durations.

DD is 4mo, she takes 3-4 naps per day.. Here's a rough schedule.

Wake 7:30ish

Nap 10-10:45

Nap 12-2:30 (sometimes this is two shorter naps pretty close to each other)

Nap 4-5

Sleep 8:00ish

DS will be 4 months old in 2 days.

He generally cannot be awake for more than 2 hours (usually it's closer to 1.5) without needing to sleep again, but I think the length of that time depends on the quality of his last nap.

Often he has at least 1 really good nap per day (1.5 -2.5 hours) and then 2-3 more 30-45 min. naps where I can just not get him past that cycle. Sometimes he'll do something like 2 good naps (about an hour each) and a 3rd or 4th so- so nap. It really varies.

My 6 mo old will not go down for a nap, so I just moved his bedtime up earlier. He will doze off to sleep after nursing, but I can't sit still for 1-2 hours to let him sleep against my belly and if I try to move him he wakes up. So, he sometimes just gets maybe 2 or 3 15 min cat naps a day.

At night, he "sleeps" for about 12 hours (he is nursed every 2 hrs throughout the night).

Up until 4 months of age, he would get fussy and fall asleep about 2 hours after waking in the morning and again right after lunch time for about 2 hours. Those days seem to be gone...

He still gets very fussy when he needs to nap, but he just won't fall asleep without being nursed. When I've tried to put him in his crib, he just gets a second wind.

My son is almost 9 months and went from 3 naps to 2 around 7 mos. His schedule now is:

6:00am: wake
8:30am: nap
10:15am: wake
1:00pm: nap
3:00pm: wake
6:00pm: sleep

Times and nap length vary day to day, but that's the basic routine.
