Naps & Awake Times

Hi there! Ashley is coming up on 8 months. She had always been a fab sleeper and up to a week ago all her naps were a good 1.5 to 2 hours. She has always settled beautifully independently.

All of a sudden all her naps are 20mins and she is grumpy which is not at all like her. She has been doing 20min naps for about 10 days. As far as I can tell she is well...no temp or anything and no signs of teething.

She always did 1.5 hours up in the morning an then took a 2 hour nap. I've tried having her up for 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 hours etc and still just get a 20min sleep.

Just wondering what other babies of the same age do in terms of their awake times first thing in the morning? I really am not sure what to do next but I know she is tired and the 20min naps are not cutting it for her.

She's sleeping through the night so no issues there.

My wee man has always been a short napper so can't really help you but I know how frustrating it can be! He can manage 3.5 hours of awake time most days but only has a 30 min morning nap and a 1 hour afternoon nap and on sometimes we still have to have 3 x 30 min naps! Has been like this since 8 weeks old!!! His night sleeping has and still is great so I just have to roll with it now. Hope this is just a phase for you FionaS
