When did your baby consolidate naps?

At the moment, my 11 week old naps for 45 mins every 1.5 or 2 hours. I was wondering when she might start napping for longer stretches? I know not all babies are the same but just interested in others' experiences x

I don't have the answer for you but my son is 15 weeks old and only takes 30-45 minute naps also. Be interested to see what other people say.

Around 9 or 10 months and even then it wasn’t consistent. Still had the odd 40 minute nap a couple of times a week. Even now at 18 months we have the odd short nap every so often. I know babies who only ever cat napped until the day they stopped napping.

My baby is 6 months and has 3 naps a day. Not 100% sure when she t happened though

Ive also been asking this (in my head) - 11 weeks and napping every 1-2 hours after a feed for 20-50 minutes, but only on me

11 months for mine when he stopped taking 45 minute naps and started doing 1h30. Just in time for me to go back to work Hmm.

At 3 months mine started sleeping through the night (7 hours) and that sort of coinsided with him reducing naps to 4 a day at hour and a half stretches and then again at 6 months that went down further to and hour at around 11am and then 2 hours at 3pm.

My baby is 5.5 months old and still had pretty short naps - we often have 4 or 5 a day. Usually only able to stay awake 1.5-2 hours in between even now! Sometimes he will do 1.5 hours but most are 30-45 minutes. I am just used to it now and follow his rhythm. Hope it will consolidate soon though Grin

About 7.5/8 months, up until that point he had 30 minute naps about 3/4 times a day and an awake time of about 2 hours. It just suddenly changed.
