The 30 Minute Napper!
« on: January 12, 2006, 16:31:31 pm »
My little guy, Nathan, is 5 months old.  He's been a 30 minute napper for awhile now.  Mommy is getting very tired with that routine and she's wondering how to get him to extend his naps?  He typically can only take about 2 - 2 1/2 hours between naps.  Our nights are not great either.  He's up every 2-3 hours.

I don't have advice on extending naps as mine only goes for 45 (need to work on that at some point).  But I just have to say I'm surprised yours can go 2 - 2 1/2 hours on that!  Mine can only last about an hour & 1/2 at a time.

This way I get a better sense of what is going on throughout the day.

He ended up down for the whole night at 10:15 last night.  But he was up about 4 times during the night! 

This morning we were up at 9am for a feeding and then he was down for a nap around 10:20 or so.
