Naps

My 6 month old only contact naps. We do 3 one hour naps in the day. If I put him down he’ll sleep 30 mins. Won’t put himself to sleep but I wouldn’t expect him to anyway x

Same as Skye, only do contact naps, or pram naps. He doesn't go to sleep on his own in his cot, and if I feed him to sleep and transfer him, he'll wake up after 30mins on the dot. I just reserve mornings for pram / carrier naps and afternoons for contact napping. 🤷

Same-ish here but slowly improving. We started with the 1st nap in the cot, then 2 contact naps. She also wakes after 30 min, it's the end of the sleep cycle and they find it hard to link the next one. As long as I can do 2.5hrs overall naptime split into 3 naps, she's fine. So if the 1st nap is only 30 min then I do 2 contact naps. But the more she is getting used to the cot sometimes she lasts for 50 or even 90 minutes! I couldn't believe it when it happened for the first time but definitely there is progress and she is able to do more and more 30+ naps in the cot. So my advice is go for the 1st nap and give them the opportunity because they'll not learn otherwise. You can also make the 2nd nap longer with contact to make up for the time she didn't do in the cot. Hopefully you'll see some progress in a few weeks like we did 🙂

@Nori thank you! We were seeing some progress but it’s like the crawling has knocked her back, which I get she’s learnt a new skill and wants to be off but she’s so little so she’s knackered from the crawling but won’t sleep 🙈 will keep trying and hopefully will work

My little girl is nearly 6.5 months and I’ve dropped her to two naps a day! first one in her pram sometimes 30 mins, other times 2/3hours so I just stay out and keep walking haha. Second nap falls asleep on me after a bottle either on the sofa or bed, so I just watch tv until she wakes up. So either way I’m napped trapped! hope this helps x

@Crystal how have you found the transition to 2? I managed it for a day then never managed it again 🙈

It’s only been a couple of days but she’s doing much better, she had 2.5hr in her pram and 30mins around 5pm. Then she’ll go to bed around 9pm until 9 with one feed about 6am. X
