40 minute naps ?!!!

Ok DD 6MO is getting herself to sleep, sleeps 10 hours no wake ups at night. But naps - every 40-45 mins she’s awake?! Help!
she isn’t over tired, under tired, hungry, overly wet. She just won’t nap longer than 45 mins?! But previously when I rocked her to sleep she’d have two hours naps. Any ideas mums

Sounds normal for me, neither of my two napped for hours until they went to one nap. If she's doing a good stint overnight she might not need longer naps.

40 minutes is a normal sleep cycle. So she needs help linking her sleep cycles so she can put herself back to sleep and ultimately have a longer nap.

Yup, totally normal and totally depressing 😬
