Help with naps for 7.5 month baby
« on: October 10, 2006, 20:32:09 pm »
Hello, my baby is almost 7.5 months and we just dropped the short catnap.  At this moment her routine is a mess, because she canīt get 1.5 hour naps anymore, she is doing 3 hours of A time, in the morning she sleeps around 1 hour and 10, 15 or 20 min the most.  And in the afternoon she naps for 1 hour sometimes even 45 min.  Is this enough?  How much sleep a baby of her age should be getting for naps? She wakes satisfied from her naps unless itīs only for 45 min (not very common though).  Should I try w2s again so she can get 2 full 1.5 hour naps? At this moment she is teething and just learned to stand up, could this be interfering?

These two things can definitely interfere with sleep.  How is she doing overnight?

Hello!! Itīs been so long since I posted this.  So how long should naps be for 8.5 month babies (average)? Right now she is doing one of 1.5 hours and one of 1 hour? Is this enough, or could it be causing a daily 3:30 am waking?

Usually wakes hungry again at 4 am, so she nurses in order to keep sleeping until 6 am.
