7 month second nap

(1/2) > >>

Mum2lucy:
Hi,

I’m looking for some help with my 7 month old naps. She’s 7 month in a few days time. She is generally a good sleeper and has been independently sleeping since 3 months old.

I can usually get a good first nap. She’s pretty consistent with it and if she isn’t, then I Exeter’s a time and it usually falls back into place. However I cannot get my second nap right at all and it’s making dinner and bedtime much harder as she’s so tired.

7.30
S09.20-9.40 (car)
S:10.50-12.10
S:2.20-2.40
S: 4.50-5.30 (40)
Bed 7.15 sleep 7.20 (was out all day)

Woke 7.30
Nap 10.40-12.20
nap 3.10-4.10(unsettled)
Bed 6.45 asleep in arms 6.50

Woke 5.10 fed
Woke 7.45
Nap 10.52-12.35
Nap 14.30- 3.20
Bed 6.35, 6.45 sleep

Woke 3.15 feed
Woke 7
Nap 10.14-12.25
Nap 3.30-4.30
Bed 6.50 asleep 6.55

Those are my last few days. I don’t know if she is overtired or under tired for pm nap 🤷‍♀️
Thanks

Hey! Our days are similar. A one long nap, one short nap routine is fine at this time as long as it doesn't leave you with too long a gap till bed. Just going by the days you posted, it seemed like you had a better night with a short A before bed.  I'm not clear on what A time you are doing  - do you change as per her cues? As your A time keeps increasing, you would anyway be moving to 1 nap + CN routine , so don't worry too much about it. You can always opt for an early bedtime if the catnap ends too early. What do you think?

Mum2lucy:
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
She does 3hr 10mins a in the morning and I don’t have a set a for the second nap and that’s because I cannot ever get it correct to get a long nap. I think she needs around 3hr 20 mins A for the afternoon but it doesn’t always given a long nap. I guess you are correct about moving to one nap eventually.  My first LG went to one nap quite early as well.

She does like a short A to bed so today I had to do this

Wu: 6.50
S: 10.10-12.20
S: 14.35-15.05 (in car on way back from sensory class)
S: 5.10-5.30 (apop in car)
Bt 7.15 asleep 7.20

As she likes a short A to bed, 3.05-6 ish would have been too long on a 30 min nap so I did apop cat nap
