If your INFANT takes one nap a day....

how old is DC , when is the nap and for how long?

DD is 7 months and i think shes giving up her morning nap bc it keeps getting shorter( today it was for 20 mins)

Then she took a 3 hr nap in which i had to wake her

Re: If your INFANT takes one nap a day....

Is she crawling or cruising yet? Ava barely took one nap a day up until she was about 8 months old. For some reason, she just never wanted a nap, but by 8 months, she was cruising and getting all over the house, so she really started to need two naps a day. She stayed at two hour-hour and a half naps a day until right around 12 months when she finally went back to 1 nap a day. The difference is that she sleeps for about 2 hours everyday now. She goes down anywhere from 10:30-11.
Hang in there, I found that Ava's night sleep was great, but her daytime naps took a long time to become regular.

Andrew takes a 3 hr nap. He goes down around 10:30-11. Then sometimes another nap at 4ish.

DD is 16 months and takes one long afternoon nap. She'll go in between 12 and 2 (after lunch and depending if we are out or home) and can sleep anywhere from 3 to 4 hours! She wakes about 8:30 and goes to bed about 8:30.

Is she teething? Right before my DD's two teeth cut through, she was taking one short nap in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon, but both were a struggle to get her to take. Right after she went back to 2, hour to 2 hour naps. Maybe that could be it?

Re: If your INFANT takes one nap a day....

DS used to take catnaps all the time as an infant! Drove me nuts. Then one day out of the blue at around I would say 6 months he started napping a little longer like for an hour/hour and a half. Then by 7 months out of nowhere his naps became an hour/ hour and a half to 2 hours. Now at 15 months it's still usually 2 hours if we are home (sometimes an hour and a half) He goes down between 11-11:30am...

Then around 4/4:15pm he'll go down for another nap for about an hour or sometimes an hour and a half, anywhere in between that. But sometimes he doesn't go down for that second nap which is fine as long as he's had his first one.

Grace was a cat napper until 5 months- now that she is crawling, she has an hour to hour and half nap in the morning and up to a 3 hour nap in the afternoon
