But alas we must face the 45 minute nap intruder without knowing when it will end for sure. To face the short naps with no concrete end date ahead is difficult. If you knew it would be like this until 20 weeks then it would get better, you would just wait it out. It would be easier, I think, if you knew exactly when it would end. I know it is so hard to believe it will get better. If she didn’t fall asleep within 10 minutes in the swing, I would feed her because I figured she was hungry. If she didn’t, I would just move her to the swing to finish her nap. If it was 60, I would give her time–I think about 10 minutes–to get back to sleep. If it was only 30 minutes in, I would have her CIO back to sleep. She would go to sleep without crying at all, then wake up 30-60 minutes into her nap. Kaitlyn did extremely well for her naps for the most part, but we had the 45 minute thing for 3-4 weeks. Then one day he suddenly started sleeping 2 hours and never looked back. I always just fed him right when he woke and moved on with my day. When I was a first-timer, Brayden took 45 minute naps until he was 6 months old. A short nap every once in a while is very normal and nothing to stress out about.īut what about when the bad days become weeks? It is the 45 minute intruder!

There will always be naps baby wakes early here and there and there will always be naps that go well. When your baby is waking after only 45 minutes, you can really drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why.
