Help with 7 month old naps
​
Hello everyone!!! We have a 7 month old baby who sleeps very short naps. We had a very bad 4 month sleep regression, with wake ups every hour or so, but now his night sleep is much better. He now sleeps 10-11 hours in the night, with a couple of dream feeds.
However, it feels like his naps cannot get longer. During the day, he will sleep 35-45 minutes, and that's it, he wakes up. Sometimes he wakes up crying, sometimes no. We always try to rescue the naps, either by me feeding him when I can (I have started working again but I wfh, with decent flexibility) or his father will have to walk with him in the corridors. Lately though, even these don't work. Is there anything that we can do to help him sleep longer naps? No sleep training, especially any of the CIO methods.
For context, he is EBF, on 3 naps a day and his wake windows are approximately 2.5/2.5/2.5/3, with naps lasting around 2.5 hours and 10.5-11 hours of night sleep. We start the bedtime routine at 8-8.30 and he is usually asleep by 9pm, waking up at 7.30-8am. for context adding screenshot of a week. thank you very much for the help!
