baby schedule/sleep question

knittygrl

A is still waking at night to eat.  She goes right back to sleep but I remember when L was this age she was sleeping 11-12 hours per night consistently.  L did not nap well during the day which I think attributed to her sleeping so much at night.  A has been taking two short cat naps (45 min to an hour) per day and then one LONG 3 hour nap mid day.  Right now she has been sleeping since 10:30.  I don't want to wake her up because she obviously is tired but I feel like we are getting in a cycle of not STTN and I go back to work in a few weeks and am dying for her to start sleeping longer. WWYD?

Cora sleeping well at night has not seemed related to her napping during the day. She is just now starting to go 8-9 hours regularly. Teagan was consistently sttn at this point and was a better napper than Cora. I would not cut the long nap short on purpose.

Every baby is different.  Corey was STTN somewhere around 3-4 months.  Travis did not until like 16 months.  He is still not a great sleeper.  he is down to 1 nap a day, but that one nap can range from 1.5 hours (today) - 3 hours (yesterday).  I think when they are that young you need to follow their lead.

Are you nursing or on formula?  3 months anyway is young to sleep 11 hours straight.  If she is only waking once, you are lucky.  She'll get there!
