2 month old only taking short naps
I am wondering if anyone else's LO's do this. Everyone seems to tell me that their LO naps for like 2-3 hrs at a time. My DD does not, she will nap on average for 20-30 mins. Sometimes she might get 45- an hour but that is rare. Anyone else LO do this at this young age? I feel like it makes her more fussy. Any advice on how to get her to nap longer? I usually have her nap in her swing or bouncy seat since I dont want her to get confused by putting her in her bassinet since we have a great night time routine. I have a nanny at the house now while I work from home and I want to make sure the baby is good for her.

2 month old only taking short naps
My DS is the same way. I'm lucky if he takes an hr nap (he's 3 months old). but he takes a lot of small naps throughout the day. He naps best in the car, I can get a little over an hour then.

At that age ds was a cat napper. He would nap about 20-30 mins at a time.

Re: 2 month old only taking short naps
DS typically gave 20 minute naps, 2 times per day, til he was 10 months old. And I was working overnights at that time, so I was ready to bash my tired head against a wall.

My DS gave me 30 min naps max until 4 months of age. Then we got inconsistent 60-90 min naps as we started solids (coincidence or not). Now he's a great napper (I would say after 6/7 months it was consistent). It's very frustrating and did make him even more fussy and cranky than he already was!
ETA: Try a sound machine and swaddling. We used the Rock and PLay Sleeper, which was great (although none of these things made his naps longer at that time!)

Re: 2 month old only taking short naps
My DD did the same thing at that age. She was a cat napper. She did change to longer naps when she got older.
