How long should naps be at 4 months?

My daughter requires more sleep.
Is two hours too long for a nap???
How long do yours nap??

 

At 4 months, mine transitioned (and I "forced" them) into a 2 nap schedule. Bed time 6 pm; wake up 7 am (one feeding at around 5 am in between), nap at 9 am (1 1/2 - 2 hours; now only 1 - 1 1/4 hours which is fine) and another nap at 1 pm until 3 pm (still do that). However, now they do go to bed later (6.20/6.30 pm) and they wake around 5.30-6.00 am, but go back down.

 

right now my little boy sleeps maybe once a day. He is not fussy just not gonna sleep. LOL... My little gril sleeps like 3 times a day and sometimes through the night.

 

I have sleepers, that's for sure!

They nap 3 times a day---2 one and 1/2 hour naps and 1 one hour nap.

They sleep through the night so I'm sticking with it until they change!

 

My son just started taking 2 hour long naps. It's not consistant but so far it's been about 6 wake up, 8-11 nap, then nap from 1-3. I am still working on bedtime because he takes another nap around 5:30, but then that interferes with bedtime, so I need to figure that one out. I also still feed him twice at night (once around 10:00 and again around 3 or 4).

 

All kids are different and their naps are as well. I just got done reading an article in Parents Magazine saying some kids nap 30 minutes and that is all their body needs whereas other kids nap 2 hours.

 

Mine usually nap 1-2 hours in the morning (between 9 and 11am), about an hour in the afternoon (any time between 1 and 3pm), and then again in the late afternoon for about 45 minutes to an hour around 5:30. They go to bed for the night between 8 and 8:30 after their 8 pm bottles. They wake up at midnight for another bottle, but sleep from 12:30 am until about 7 am.

Of course they usually don't nap at the same time! Usually just as one is waking up the other is falling asleep. I don't know how to change that and actually its kind of nice sometimes to have good one-on-one time with each... even though its not conducive to cleaning the house or making dinner or paying bills!!!

My guys take four naps a day and the longest they ever sleep is an hour. Average is 45 minutes. I put them down after 90 to 120 minutes of wakefulness. I WISH, WISH, WISH they'd sleep longer. My dream is two 2-hours naps. If anyone can tell me how to make that happen PLEASE do! They go to bed around 7 and get up around 6:30, without eating during the night (well, the odd time).
