how much nap time does my baby need?
normally when babies are first born everything is eat sleep eat sleep so you don’t really count any of that sleeping as naps. but somewhere between 1 and 6 six months of age babies tend to settle into a three-naps-a-day pattern where each nap can last an hour or two before going to a one-nap-a-day pattern after their first birthday. most kids lose their need for naps by about 5 years of age.
