How many naps....

I feel like my little one only cat naps 3-4 times a day. Sometimes it will be only 3 but two short and one long. But we have been in the crap nap stage for what feels like forever.

3-4

Some days he sleeps 2 long naps and 1 or 2 more cat naps and some days he only gets one long nap and barely has cat naps the rest of the day. He sleeps well at night but seems to fight nap time more and more the last couple weeks

3, one long nap 1-2 hours and 2 catnaps 30-45 minutes

Mine takes 3-4 naps everyday

Hmmmmm ok ...sorry so my next ? Lol what time do they go to bed? And how long are they awake between naps? My lo does 4 naps.. her first three are decent all longer than an hour shorter than 2... and her last nap I cap at 30/40mins... I'm wondering if she's getting too much daytime sleep and if I should then drop to three naps? I don't mind the fourth nap at all cause then we get in another bottle before bed and she only wakes once in the middle of the night. I'm afraid if we go to 3 naps she would have too early a bedtime and wake more often for a feed. Idk anymore haha sorry ftm.. so much and almost too much info out there so I prefer to ask other moms in the same phase of life lol

My little one routine at 12 weeks. Wake between 7-7:30 First nap 9-9:30 for about an hour Second nap 12:30/1 for between 45-hour Third nap about 3/3:30 this one can be anything for a hour to two hours He has a bath a 6 every night and then goes down for bed around 7/7:30 unless we are out. He wakes once in the night. Anytime between 2-4am. He’s drinks 5oz every 3hrs.

Mine is similar to Courtney’s but last nap is 5-5:30 and bedtime is 8-8:30. Wake windows usually get longer through out the day and last nap is always 30 minutes. Wake windows range from 2-2:45 hours. Typically at this age 4 hours of day time sleep and 10-12 night time sleep. Every baby is so different it’s so hard! Especially at this age the naps are crap and could range different every time. Usually around 5 months it is really steady with a schedule. I would say I only have more of a schedule is because I have a toddler and we’re on her time these days 😂

Kk thank you! I think that's why for now Ill have to do that fourth nap cause her wake windows are max hour and a half... the last window I reallly push to two hours but again a push Lolol

Yeah you don’t want an overtired baby! Eventually they just start sleeping through the night and drop the feed. We had days this week he randomly woke up in the night for a feed where the days prior he was sleeping though the night. It can change so fast especially with sleeps and growth spurts. Just hang in there!

@Danielle literally I can’t say this is everyday he’s perfect. But this is what I try to stick too roughly. His naps can be non existent or just pure crap sometimes.

@Courtney right! With my daughter it would be consistent and then boom something changed! It’s so hard! When they say every baby is different it’s so true!

@Danielle literally. I had people telling me he should be napping more and for longer (the older generation) and I was like he literally screams if I force him to sleep and then he slept for 20 minutes max. You just have to trust your gut and wing it. Your with your baby the most you know what’s best for them you just have to trust yourself which I found very difficult and still do.

3 to 4, depending on if we have good naps or bad naps. Normally, he will do 2 2 hour naps and 1 1 hour nap.

Thanks everyone!! 💗🥹🙏🏼 It is so hard to trust your gut when you find yourself reading all the info online (which can be a blessing but also a curse) and then I find myself spiraling like what can I adjust... is there something I should Be doing differently? Is this really what works for her 😫But you are right every baby is so different and for the most part she is on par with where she should be at... and hey it wasn't long ago where I couldn't get her to nap independently and now she can do 2/3 of the 4 naps with little to No assistance. But like you said too ..you figure it out and get into a groove to only be thrown off by something else... 4 month regression on the horizon which I pray for us all it's non existent or just not too bad lol

Mine seems to sleep a full 8 hours at night most nights and barely naps in the day. Maybe one long one and a short one or 2-3 short ones
