Is Catnapping Normal For Babies. Michaels Hospital in Toronto. When you are ready to work on extending naptimes I recommend working on the midday nap.
Catnapping normally starts when your baby is around eight to ten weeks old. Even then some babies will need help to resettle during a nap to get a longer stretch of sleep - this is completely normal and for some babies it can last quite a while. Most catnapping in the early months is biological.
This is in fact a natural daytime sleep pattern.
If your baby is younger than 56 months the catnap is very normal and they may be coping really well with four to five shorts naps during the day. Its completely normal for babies to catnap in the first few months says Anne Wormsbecker a paediatrician at St. This leads babies to feel sleepy and even fall asleep. Yes all bubs are different have different sleep requirements at different ages but mine have all been like your little one.
