Wake Window and Naps.

How many naps is your little one taking? What is the average day sleep? And how long is the wake window? My baby is 5.5 months and takes 3 naps 2 of them are 30 minutes and the other 1 is around 1.5 hour. He sleeps some nights and wakeup every hour some nights. His wake windows are around 2-2.5 hours according to huckleberry. But today I struggle alot to put him down so I lengthen his wake window to 3 hours and he went to sleep like a breeze!

Maybe trial a few more days doing wake windows of 3 hours but my sleep consultant told me if they fall asleep very easily/quickly they are over tired. Personally for their current age I think 3 naps is good for a while longer xx

7 months old. 2 naps a day totalling around 3 hours. Wake windows 3-4 hrs

30mins per day 1 nap 🤣🤣🤣 I never had a sleepy baby. Even as a newborn she was up for 8hrs perfectly happy, 0 sign of discomfort, no crying. Lucky mummy

You are lucky @Gabi mine will torn down the house apart after being awake for 3 hours

@Lydia I am following a 3 naps routine but the app say he should have 2, 2hour naps that was causing us split nights as he was sleeping too much during the day so now we have only 1 long nap

@Steff 💕 when did you transition to 2 naps?

We’re transitioning from 4-3 most of her naps are 30 minutes but if I can, I make her last nap around 3:30pm - 5pm so she’s not crazy overtired for bedtime

@Iqra which app is this? At 5.5 months I would definitely expect at least 3 naps xx

@Lydia just curious, what happens if they fall asleep easily/quickly? Mine falls asleep pretty quick and sometimes after a few mins of whining/ self settling. Is falling asleep quickly a problem? xx

@Beth don’t think it’s. Problem just indicator they could be over tired and then will wake up in the night or wake up early xx

@Lydia huckleberry

@Lydia falling sleep quickly means you catch them on perfect time.

My baby is having half hour naps about 3/4 times a day 🥲 but today had an hour this morning! Slept through last night from 8-5 had a bottle and went down again until 7:30am.. he’s different every day but only wakes once in the night for a feed every night so he must be fine, surely 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Iqra he was 7 months on 9th April and I’d say that week he switched. I never tried to do it, it just happened. They just start having longer wake windows and gradually phase themselves into it x
