For those with 8 month olds

Hi,

For those of you with 8 month olds, how long do their naps last during the day? My boys are on two naps a day lasting between 45 minutes to 1 hour. They occasionally throw in a 2 hour nap which is usually once a week.
They are in bed by 6.30 pm and sleep 12 hours. Just curious, thanks

 

Oh at that age it was still touch and go for us. Sometimes there would be 3 two hour naps and sometimes there would be 10 cat naps!! UGH so frustrating. Anyway they got pretty consistent around 9-10 mnths for me and are very consistent now!

 

Until 3 weeks ago when my DD got sick they were both sleeping 1 1/2 to 2 hours for both naps 9-11 and 1-3. The sick threw us off today was better so hopefully we will get back to that. Oh they sleep 12 hours at night.

One of the boys is starting to crawl, he is notorious at sleeping only 45 minutes. I am hoping that once he gets more active, his sleep will lengthen.

 

Cody only takes about an hour for his morning nap, but will go 2 for his afternoon nap.

 

It varies somewhat - the am nap is usually the best - about 2 hours and then the afternoon nap could be 2 hours or 45 minutes. Oh the joys of sleep and lack there of!!!

 

At that age, mine were taking between 1 1/2 and 2 hour naps. As another said, the morning nap was and still is their longest, most consistent nap. Afternoon times were all over the place because we tended to be distracted by running errands or trying to fit in solids, etc. But it seemed that the pm nap was either 45 minutes or 2.5 hours...never in between! Just recently their naps have rounded out to the same duration for both.

 

My boys sleep 12-13 hours per night, so I consider myself lucky if they sleep for 60 minutes twice per day. At that age, it might've been a bit longer. My rule is that they have to be in their crib for at least 60 minutes. Crying or not!

 

Mine are almost 8 months but, they take (2) 45min to 1hr naps a day. They sleep 12-13 hrs at night.

 

Two naps, about 1.5 hours in the morning, and 2 hours in the afternoon. They sleep about 12 hours at night...
