Hi Fiona,
Thank you for using The Baby Sleep Site as a resource! Generally, something like a 30 minute nap is average for this age. You might find this 3 month schedule a better fit for you: https://www.babysleepsite.com/schedules/3-month-old-baby-sleep-and-feeding-schedule/
Please let us know if you have any questions!

How long should the 5pm nap be? I have a 12 week old?

Hi @Christy –
Thank you for writing to us! Keep using these schedules as a guide, and do feel free to make them your own! Every baby’s sleep needs are different! As a general rule, if letting your little one nap a little longer does not interfere with the next naps or with bedtime/night sleep, then there is no need to wake him up too early! You may want to test things to see what works best! We’d love to help with this and create a schedule just for you! Please contact us for more info at any time!

Example
Nap 8:30
Wake/milk/diaper 10 (supposed to wake?)
Nap 11:30

Hi @Irina-
Thanks for writing to us! Yes, this schedule is correct! The naps are likely 30-60 minutes each, and you could certainly add a feeding in between those naps, especially if baby is cluster feeding! Definitely feed your baby when hungry and feel free to make this schedule your own! These are general guidelines, but schedules and babies can and will be a bit different. Thanks again for visiting us Irina! And check out the other schedules too!

In 6-weeks old schedule, there’s 2 nap entries in a row, with no feeding in between:

4:30 PM Nap
6:30 PM Nap

Is that right? How long are these naps? And what’s in between them? My baby is only 3 weeks old now, but he always wakes up hungry, and it’s hard for me to imagine that things will change so much in 3 weeks that he will not demand his meal first thing he wakes up.

Can you advise?

Thanks!
Irina

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for your comment! It can be really hard to know which opinions to listen to when your baby is very young, so I’m glad we could provide some support 😀 Babies need to eat, and very young babies are not usually organized sleepers and eaters until at least 4 months after their due date, so you have some time before you need to be worried about that! Hang in there 🙂

My 13 week old (ex-32 week prem) is sleeping closer to a 5 week old, as she should. Several people have commented she shouldn’t be snack feeding or sleeping so much, but your schedule is almost exactly what she is doing. Relieved and will stop listening to all the opinions! Thanks.

@Bella – Thank you for reading and for sharing with us! Yes, all babies are indeed very different and our schedules are just guidelines. If your little guy is getting the sleep he needs and developing as a whole, by all means let him sleep and keep him on that schedule as long as he’ll let you! 🙂 It’s definitely possible for babies to hit the 4-month sleep regression as early 3 or 3.5 months. Here’s a bit more about that regression that you may find helpful: https://www.babysleepsite.com/how-we-sleep/4-month-old-sleep-regression/ Hang in there, Bella!

We have started to teach him how to fall asleep on his own and he now sleeps through the night from 7/8 till 6 without a feed. His naps have gone from 45 mins to 2/3 hours long during the day. Does this sound okay? I know all babies are different but he’s asleep alot more than the schedules here.
