Baby girl is 4 months old. She sleeps with us at night but naps are in her bassinet or crib. She only naps for 25-28 minutes and maybe 4-5 naps a day. How can I get her to take longer naps? I keep reading they should be longer at this age.
Make sure she’s full. Try having some background noise
Try looking up White Noise on YouTube. Let it play in the background. Hope it works for you
I played mazzy star fade into you album and that’s only way I was able to get my oldest son to sleep
I play classical no singing just instrument music for my daughter
We used music instead of white noise and being sure she’s cool and in a dark room preferably re-creating her bedtime situation so is comfortable and familiar
At that age I played with my son and he would nap for about 3 hours I tried to keep him awake making funny faces weird sounds basically anything I could do to get him to smile and make noises that he’d tired himself out
Make sure she’s full and try cutting some of the naps out. The more naps=less time she will sleep, the less naps=greater sleep time. That’s how it worked with mine anyways
I always played classical music for my 2 girls when they were little and will likely do the same this time around. It worked so well and I played the music well into their toddler years too.
She’s maturing at her own pace. Give her time.
She might be overly tired. Try following this
Mine is 6 months and just started taking hour naps, before that it would only be like 20 minute naps
