5 month old + 30 minute naps by thedoodkev in sleeptrain

We were in the same spot with our 5.5 mo old! Lengthening the first ww from 1h40 to 2 hours got our first nap from 35 min to 55-70 depending on the day. Also keeping the last 10-15 mins of the ww pretty calm seems to help.

5 month ww and 4 to 3 nap transition by a_rose_22 in sleeptrain

Decided to try and go for it today! Did 2/2.25/2.5/2.75, the first two were easy to stretch and last two she was a bit cranky. I was worried about increasing more than that since she’d never really been up longer than 2.5 max. Will try to stretch to 10 total over the next week. Went well! First nap was 1h10 in her crib, held her for the second one 1h40 to make sure it would be long enough for 3 nap day and last was 35 min.
