short avo naps

[claremoss]

My LO has a 2 hour nap in the morning, but then only two 30 minute naps for the rest of the day. She is cranky come 5pm, but always has been and I understand this is normal for babies. She sleeps ok at night, do you all think this is ok, or should I be trying to encourage more than half an hour?

How old is she?

15 weeks

..she has never had a fourth nap since about 8 weeks btw...

Sounds like the right amount of daytime sleep over all...if you're following her cues and putting her down for a nap whenever she seems tired then I would say you are doing just fine :) Especially if she sleeps ok at night.

how well does she go down to bed in the evening? If she is chronically over tired then you will know cos bedtime will be a screamy nightmare...

yes she cries after her bath when I am putting her jammies on, she then stops crying for a story, but cries again for ten minutes when I put her in her cot....over tired?
