Sleep

Crap naps

DD is 8mo, and her crap naps are driving me nuts. She is now sleeping much better at night (about 11h with perhaps 1x5min wake-up) but since nights improved her naps have gone to shit. When she slept worse at night her naps were about 60-90 min, but now all she does is 3x30 min. Maybe she just doesn't need as much sleep in the day now that nights are better? She goes to sleep on her own so I can't blame sleep associations. Any ideas??

I think some children just need less sleep! My DS2 has always slept ok at night, he's been going 10 hours for a few months now. Sometimes sleeping through, sometimes with 1/2 wake ups.
Naps have always been tougher. He's almost 1 now and he's gone from 2 short naps to one two hour nap in the day and that's it. And he'll only have that long if I keep him on my lap.

That's what I've been thinking as she is happy and is not grumpy & tired. Apparently I was the same as a baby so it's probably my genes!
