Baby only naps for 30 minutes at a time

[123youandme]

8 month old who will only nap for around 30 minutes at a time throughout the day.

Breastfed and currently trying self self settling techniques in the hope it will encourage a longer nap.

Any tips on this? Has anyone successfully managed to do this?

They fall asleep very easily on us and will comfortably sleep for maybe an hour on our lap but it just means nothing can get done around the house 🤣 previously I have allowed them to fall asleep on me then transferred to the cot but I am worried that's why they wake frequently throughout the night.

Thank you

My daughter was the same at this age and duration of her naps increased as she got older - when she turned 1 she was only having one nap but it could be anything between 1.5-3hrs. She is now 2 and still having long 2-3hr nap in the afternoon. Stick to wake windows and this may
improve with time! Recommending a bouncer or using a pram indoors, it was a blessing with my daughter and she’s a great sleeper

That gives me hope, thank you!
