    Mine seem to only nap for like 45 to maybe 50 minutes before they start to stir and want to wake. It's driving me insane...it seems like they should be napping longer...I don't know...Just wondering how long your's are napping for?

    Mine nap in their separate cribs (always kept them separate)...room darkening shades, white noise, swaddled.

    At that age mine only slept for 45min with 2 longer stretches at night. The only way I could deal with it was to take 2hrs at a time - Sleep for 45min, eat for 15, wake/play for 1hr. Then repeat and repeat and repeat.

    I might get shot.

    Mine take 45 min to 2 hour naps depending on how tired they are and if I get them down at the right time. I'd say on average it is 1.5 hours twice a day and then an hour nap in the evening. Usually if they wake at 630 am, they go to sleep around 830/9am and sleep until 11. They then nap at 1pm until about 245. All I've done is consistently put them down when they are tired (usually 2 hours after waking right now), I also swaddle them and they sleep in separate cribs. If I get them down too late and they are overtired, they sleep for just an hour.

    My son will nap all day if I let him. My daughter has started a new cycle where she doesn't nap at all dafter the first 2 feedings in the morning. The rest of the day she will be better but the wide awake mornings are getting to me. Breakfast for me isn't easy.

    2-3 months it was about 45 mins during the day and an hour at night. It increased when they were 4 months, but it was very irregular. I could plan on 2 1.5 hour naps and 1 45 min catnap from 6-10 months before they dropped the catnap. Hang in there!

    I think my two were napping for about an hour at that point. The length of naps didn't increase for us until around 4 months.

    Mine are 3 1/2 months and nap about 30 minutes to one hour. If I'm lucky, it's 1 1/2 hours. They eat, play, and about 1 1/2 to 2 hours later, I swaddle them and put them in their cribs. They DO sleep at night from 7/7:30 to around 4:30 right now. (But I'd love a longer break in the day!) I think its time to seperate them!

    my guys are 2.5mths and do the same 45min cat nap thing thruout the day - at night they go 4-5hrs at first then every 2 hours after that. i find they do nap better if i catch them right at the point they are starting to fuss or else i miss their window.

    At that age mine were still catnapping in our living room. I think we moved them to their cribs at 3-4 months.

    At that age, the naps were all over the place. Definitely not consistent or lengthy at all! It got better around 5-6 months.

    Napping for us didn't get consistant until around 4 mos. Before that it was very sparatic and they were on their own 'schedule'. I kinda liked that.. that way I was able to spend one on one time with each baby cause they'd take turns napping. But it was so hard to get anything done :lol:
