50-60 min naps
« on: April 01, 2015, 17:36:04 pm »
My 11 week old pretty often has 50-60 min naps and I can't figure out why. This can happen after an hour of A up to an hour 45 of A (sometimes without much in terms of sleepy cues), so can't figure out if it's an overtired or under tired issue or something else. Or maybe she's hungry even though it's been just two to two and half hours since last eating? Often I can resettle her after and she will fall asleep for another 50-60 mins. I am working on gradually weaning from APOP associations. Not sure if these naps are just the length of her sleep cycles and she's not connecting them because of the APOP we are working on, or if she's not tired enough for two hour naps (even though I can get her to go back to sleep), or if this is just the way she is!

Any thoughts?

Probably developmental :). We had plenty of similar length naps at that age, I think it's part of them just working out their daytime sleep and as you say learning how to connect sleep cycles.  If you've seen them with all different lengths of A right from 1h to 1h45 (I'd have thought that would cover UT, OT and everything in between....) then it's probably just something to ride out for a while until LO gets a bit older.  Look on the bright side though - if you can resettle you're not doing too badly :). Better than a 30 min nap with no resettle!!
