6 month old naps
Hi moms! I need some help with my baby’s naps. We started sleep training him Sunday and he’s handling that pretty well at night but in the day time, he’s fighting naps and if he does nap, he only naps for 15-20 minutes now (at most 30 minutes). He started to resist contact naps which helped him before. I just want to make sure he isn’t overtired at night. Are short naps okay? Anything I can do to help him sleep longer? Thanks!! 🙏

Yes, short naps are fine for now! Offer an extra nap if needed to make up for short ones. Glad to hear sleep training is going well for you! 🎉
I think they will get longer. I did gentle sleep training from around 4 months so it took a while but over time his naps got longer. My lo also started resisting help to sleep, I think that's a sign the sleep training is working but it takes a while for them to totally get it. White noise, blackout blinds and mini nap routine helped my baby but he actually found naps easier than bedtime.
