Napping for an 8 wo
« on: December 06, 2005, 14:29:32 pm »
Sorry iof i repotsed this here as well...
didn't notice there's a special section for Naps

DD just won't take naps... she sleeps once or twice during the day for a duration ranging from 1.5 -3 hours and that is it. and then at night is that ok???? she's 8 weeks day after tomorrow.

another thing is that she used to sleep 6 hours at night starting from 5.5 weeks. this went on for 10 days. then all of a sudden, she went back again to 3.5-4 hours. nothing in her routine changed at all... does anybody have any suggestions????

HI there,

at this young age things are still going to be a little unstable, but she should be taking a total of 4 naps: 3 1.5-2 hour naps and 1 45 minute catnap, so anywhere from 5-7 hours of day sleep.  What is her current routine?  You mention that she will sleep up to 3 hours sometiems during the day, however, doesn't that mean she is going into one of her feeding times? 
Please list her routine right now and we will go from there.
Thanks!
