Only 2 Naps At 5 Months
« on: October 02, 2007, 20:25:24 pm »
DD is 5 months old and only takes two naps a day, is this enough? She is a very good napper - she will nap for up to 3 or 4 hours. Of course I don't let her nap that long because it ruins her night sleep. I found that out when I took a nap the same time as her figuring she'd wake me up, we both slept 4 hours opps.


This is roughly how her day looks



8:30 Wake and play in crib

9:00 eat
Activity
11:00-12:30 sleep

1:00 eat
activity
3:00-5:00 sleep

5:30 eat
activity
7:30 Cluster feed
8:00 Bed

Does she sleep well at night and not appear overtired?

At 5 months, my older DS had two naps a day.  If I were you, I would move the first nap to 10:00 am and the second nap to about 2pm.  Then I would also make bedtime earlier, like 7 or 7:30.  I know when I went to 7pm for DS1 he began sleeping 12 hours at night consistently.  (both of his naps were about 1.5 hrs or so)

Good luck!

My DD gave up the catnap at 5 months and wanted to go to bed earlier instead, it worked out really well  :)
