Short Naps? Here’s What to Do 4–6 Months | Day 6
Welcome to Day 6! If your baby is still taking short naps (20–45 minutes), don’t worry—this is completely normal at this stage. The good news? With a few simple strategies, you can start helping your little one stretch out those naps and get more restorative daytime sleep.
In this video, Dana Obleman shares:
– Why short naps are so common at this age—and when they typically improve
– Two strategies to try when your baby wakes early from a nap
– When to go in (and when to give baby space)
– Why daytime is different from nighttime when it comes to gentle intervention
– How to adjust your day if a nap is cut short (earlier next nap or bedtime)
🕒 Remember: It’s okay to be flexible during the day. Your goal is to help your baby get the sleep they need—even if that means doing a little extra soothing here and there.
