I’m so frustrated.
My son sleeps so well at night. And, I’m very thankful for that. But, he’s horrible with naps! He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8PM, and wakes once, then sleeps until 5:30am-6am. But his naps are god awful! 35 minutes MAX. Unless, of course he’s sleeping on me. Which, I hate because I have things I need to do. I follow/ed all of Taking Cara Babies advice.. his awake windows are exact, the room is super dark, cool, swaddled tightly, fed full. I cannot figure out why he sleeps in his bed so well at night, but not during the day.

He might sleep well at night because he doesn’t sleep much during the day and he’s tired! My daughters naps starting shifting to little cat naps as I call them around that age as well. They just don’t nap as long. Frustrating, but it can just be how they are. You just have to adjust with them. My daughter naps once a day now and of course she’s older but I just reduced her cat naps to one nap so she sleeps much longer in one setting and I can get things done. Definitely not recommending you to reduce his naps down to one, just saying sometimes you just have to follow their lead. Its much easier and less frustrating that way.

That’s how my son was. Would take a 30 minute nap every 2 hours unless he was nursing. And if he was nursing I couldn’t move. So frustrating! It took a few months and a lot of rocking, but eventually he consolidated his naps into 2 2-hour chunks.
