    Why is it that one day they will sleep like champs during the day and then the next they sleep for only 30-45 min for their naps. I know it sounds selfish but I really look forward to nap times and getting somethings done with no babies. I would have thought by 9 months they would have started to be a little more consistent during the day.

    :hug99: You are NOT being selfish. Everyone deserves a break at some point. I still look forward to nap times. :D

    I completely know what you mean... mine are 8 1/2 months and have no schedule, no rhyme or reason to nap time. I thought I was the only one! Some days they take a great 2 hour morning nap and other days they don't sleep at all in the a.m. Afternoons are worse....

    I keep looking on here for "scheudle" suggestions but have not yet be able to implement any of them!

    Mine are not yet the age of yours and naps are something I look forward to! They are getting a bit better being more consistent but there are some days I might get 2-3 good naps and some days just 1.

    I'm with Rachel - I still love nap time. I don't think it's selfish at all. And one of these days soon, I hope they get consistent on naps for you. :hug99:

    Argh- glad to hear I am not the only one - and sad to hear it may not get better. Somedays they take a 2hr nap, and somedays they only nap for 45min (and fuss/cry for the last 45min, as I leave them in their cribs for 90min for their 2 main naps of the day). Just like somedays they wake up and fuss at 530am, and somedays they sleep until 7am!
