moms of sleepy babies

[pugz]

is it weird that my 4 month old baby still has to nap between every.single.bottle?

Well, my 12 month old still naps 3x per day, so I say not weird.

I don't think so. DS fell asleep each time I nursed him until probably 6 months.

O is a few weeks older than your dd, and he sleeps so much. He doesn't sleep b/w each feeding, but he takes 2 hr. naps instead of a few 1/2 hour naps, and sleeps about 12 hrs. at night. I'm not going to question it, I'm loving it!

I vote not weird, my almost 9 month old also still naps 3x a day. He napped after every bottle until he was 5-6 months old. So like 4-5 times a day. I had to make him switch to 3 naps :-P

some of the naps are short, like 20 minutes. Usually after a bottle she plays on her playmat or in her bouncer or we sing songs or go on an outing. But she starts to fuss and needs to snooze a bit before she can eat again. I have a feeling the ILs are going to be wondering why she has to nap so much when we visit this week.

Not weird. And she was a little early right? Even less weird in that case.

You might get her to sleep a little longer if you can get her onto a three nap schedule, but that's your call. I used to do something like 7wake,eat, 9eat,sleep to get her to stretch a little more.

My son is 6 mo and he did 4 naps a day, each around 30min-1hr until recently. We were on a pretty regular eat-play-sleep cycle of around 3hrs. He seems to be transitioning to 2-3 naps daily now. So that's normal in my book!

Not weird. Ds used to fall asleep every time he nursed. Enjoy it while it lasts

Not weird. My DD fell asleep every time she nursed for a long, long time.

Not weird. My son is 4.5 months and he pretty much does eat play sleep play, in a 3 hr rotation. His naps are 30-60 mins and he takes 3-4 a day.
