I have weird kids.

So, the twins have never napped well. They are up for three or four hours, will NOT go down before that, and then they only sleep 15 or twenty minutes.
Drives.
Me.
Bonkers.

BUT the good news is they've always slept really well at night. (touch wood) They've never gotten days and nights turned around yet, or anything. But, they're 3 1/2 months now, and they've set thier own pattern of waking at about 7am, and staying up til after they've had their midmorning feed (about 10 or 11) and then conking out for FOUR HOURS at a time about noon. So they're sleeping a four hour chunk, from like, noon til 4pm. They're still sleeping at night really well, but has anyone else had babies this young that only want one massive nap!?? (Owen was a religious 2 hours up, 2 hour nap guy all day til he was close to a year.)

 

Our twins were not good nappers at the age yours are. Nor did they go to sleep for a 4 hour chunk during the day. They still don't do a 4 hour chunk of a nap at 15 months!

 

Can I just say that I'm green with envy?? My two had to sleep after 1.5hrs of wake and would nap for an hour or so. It's impossible to get anything done! I'm not sure that it's the way most babies are, but I'm happy for you none the less!

 

mine do the same thing! snacks and cat naps all day then a 4/5 hour nap at 1/2. it's bizarre and they still sleep at night!

 

My kids never slept in that big of chunks, but I would take it!

 

The only time mine slept for 4 hrs were around 1.5 - 2 months old and even that was a fluke! Congrats! I'd think that was a good thing for you if they keep it consistant - heck, maybe you could even grasp a little more than your sanity back :lol:

Mine were like your DS in the beginning [2hrs awake, 2hrs sleep], then after we moved [around 6 months old] they slept Horribly [15-35 mins, 3X a day]. Until now where they typically get 2 two hr naps

 

Your kids, weird?

Say it isn't so!!

 

Our boys do the same thing ... honestly its nice i get stuff done

 

mine were sort of like that although it wasn't for 4 hours...but my kids NEVER took 2 naps a day...

 

That is Max, but he is growing out of it. He could sleep for 3 or 4 hours for a nap, while Lily was up after 45 minutes. She always wants to see what she is missing . Now he is starting to take one hour long morning nap and a second nap in the afternoon that lasts from 1 to 2 hours.
