I was just curious what napping everyone is experiencing with baby??

upto 12 mo, babies should nap 2-3 times a day for about 2hrs, but of course many will nap for 30min only once a day. We had to train our DD to nap b/c she initially would not nap at all (5min here and there)

My DS is 3.5 months. He will stay awake for two hours then take a 30-40 minute nap. This goes on for the entire day up untill bedtime. I have found if I let him go more then two hours he gets overly tired and very cranky. If I put him down few minutes before the 2 hour mark he goes right down with no trouble at all.

I would really rather him take 2 long naps, and I'm sure that will happen....I just don't know when.

DD is like Karen's child, except mine is 7 months old! Taking 3 naps a day. Needs to be put down after being up for 2 hours (like clockwork) She usually sleeps for about 1 hour these days.

When both kids were smaller they were power nappers, only sleeping about 20-30 minutes at a time every 2 hours.

And of course as newborns there was no rhyme or reason
