Nap schedule?

Does your baby have a predictable nap schedule. Kevin's naps are so random and everything I read say GET ON A SCHEDULE because babies are "creatures of habit" and are more at ease when they know whats coming next in the day but can you really schedule a 3 month old?

Asbolutely, at that age I think Aidan was up for 2 hours then nap, eat up for 2 then nap.

Now he's very predictable with his nap as well, he sleeps from about 8:30pm to 8:30-9am then a nap from 12:30 to 2pm or longer.

So the duration of sleep / awake ratio will change over time but you should see a nice pattern if you try to get them into a "schedule"

Re: Nap schedule?

Sidney is 3 months old and I'm working on a schedule right now. Its pretty much following the "Baby Whisperer" book pattern. E.A.S.Y Eat, Activity, Sleep, You time. The only problem is the nap time. If I miss the window to put her to sleep all hell breaks loose. She always wants the boob to fall back to sleep. I have been doing everything under the sun today to get her to nap wthout it. Walks, pacifier, rocking...so far I've won all but one battle today

This is every 2 hours....depending on the length of nap.

Seems like today there was not a lot of Activity though because I am so obsessed with catching her sleepy signs and trying to get her to sleep without her wailing. I am going to get the book Healthy Sleep Habits happy baby...hopefully that will help.

P.S....still haven't showered or brushed my teeth today Its been one of those days

Re: Nap schedule?

No real schedule for the twins - aside wake by 7:30, mid morning nap and asleep by 9:00 or 10:00 at night.
