Struggling to go down for a nap and I'm struggling to extend naps! 11 weeks

[arabesque]

Hi again we had a few decent nap days where I could get her down for over an hour, and yesterday and today we are bavk to short naps- this morning was only 30 mins...but I do believe that was under tired not overtired! She's already on 1.5hr A time at only 12 weeks...surely she can't need more than that?! She's in the maya wrap now after I spent 20 mins shh pat when she woke at 30 min mark...was so proud of myself for getting her back to sleep but then she woke 5 mins later! I know it's bad to say but I find myself wishing away these days so we can get to decent nap length when she's older :/

She could, if she's a high A baby... 1.5hr is on the high side but not outrageous... average A for a 3mo old is 1h20-30min. Average A times- BOOKMARK ME!

Not bad... normal when you have other LOs. I'm now at the point of wanting to get to one nap as soon as we can because it just makes life easier! (((Hugs)))

As we drop naps, I keep thinking that now things will fall into place and the naps will magically lengthen as everyone says it happened for them. High hopes so far! But nothing for it but to keep trying, right? One nap ftw! We are already on 3.15 A here so hopefully in a few months!

It is already amazing how you ladies take care of your multiple kids. Give yourself a break arabesque. Things will fall into place in time. You are already moving in the right direction

Thanks guys. Going to start moving towards 3.5 hr easy...school
Holidays start next week for 6 weeks so here's hoping I can manage to entertain my bigger boys while keeping some sort of EASY happening!

Hopefully they play well together?!

Yes they're pretty good unless chess is involved...mr7 gets frustrated at mr4 who likes to make up his own rules!
