Growth spurts and long naps...
« on: August 28, 2006, 03:34:18 am »
After all the 45 min nap trauma we've suffered, I never thought I'd be posting this in a million years!  DS Will be one on Thursday  :o and is having a huge growth spurt!  I can't keep enough food or formula in him and he is sleeping a min of 2 hours each nap!!  I've not been letting him go past 2.5 hours, but am wondering if he needs the extra sleep? He is super cranky when he wakes up and crys and needs to be held for at least 30 min. once he's up!  He's still sleeping through the night (from about 7:30-6:30), but it seems I remember reading something in BW about not letting them sleep for more than three hours at a time.  Any thoughts?

If he's eating and playing and it's not affecting his night sleep, I'd let him sleep/nap as much as he needs right now!
