my son is 5 months and isnt too bad over night sleep at 7-wakes around 1-3am for feed sleep again till 7am. he only has 2-3 hlf hr naps a day sometimes an hr for one of them!!!

skye is exactly the same and she is 5 mths. 1/2 hr in morning, 45 mins max mid afternoon and if we are lucky 1/2 hr late pm

Carrie slept fine at night but hardly at all during the day until she started properly crawling at around 10 months - she's slept consistently in the afternoon since for around 2 hours.
Heaven!!

i have to say when my oldest was little i would have loved it if he slept like that intill 6 months he wouldnt go down intill 7pm was up at 11pm asleep from 1am - 4am then that was him for the day if i was lucky he would nap for an hour during the day

do yours cry at bed time though or winge in day?

mrskc, Ruby was exactly the same at 5 months, I could time her to the second of 35 mins for a nap, one or two a day and three if i was very lucky.
She would winge and would be tired but wouldn't go down.
She was a bad sleeper at night as well and always screamed at bedtime, sometimes for up to 45 minutes.
However, she started sleeping through at 9 months after she stopped breastfeeding by herself..
I too noticed a marked improvement when she strated to crawl at 6 months but it is only in the last couple of months that she has started to have two 'proper' sleeps of between and hour or two a day and then 12 hours at night - she is 1 in 3 weeks!

Darcy so rarely sleeps in day unless you take her out in car, I get 20 min once a day max. Always on the go (3 1/2 months). Not complaining though as she sleeps through night! x

Chloe was the same at that age. it can depend on where you put them to nap as well as we found. does he go down in a darkened room in his cot/crib?

we just used to let chloe sleep whereever and she would only nap for 1/2 hr. when then changed it so that she went down in her cot in her darkened room and she now sleeps much longer each time.

sorry if already tried this cos all babies are different!!
