Should I wake my bay from her nap? - 3.5 months
Hi! I have a 3 month old baby that has had crap naps for the last month (20-30 mins nap, wake up crying, contact nap). For the last few days she has been napping for longer than 2 hours for a few naps. Not exactly sleeping straight through. She would wake up around the 50 mins mark. She opens her eyes but looks really dazed and then goes back to sleep. I have been feeding her before naps to try and get her to nap. Here is my week tracker. Does anyone have any recommendations? Do you think it might be because she isn’t eating enough (I’m breastfeeding most of the times and giving her a top up of 80ml before bed time) or her night sleep is not good (i cosleep but when it’s late at night I just feed her to sleep when she fusses or moves her hands around). I read online that I should cap nap at 2 hours each and 4-5 hours total during the day.
Thank you very much for your advice in advance!
