    If she is having a sleep that long in the morning, she just may not need the longer sleep in the afternoon. My kids all liked to be awake and see the worlds too at that age.

    You're doing a great job Renee and it sounds like Marnie is a lovely little baby.

    Honestly, they are all so so different at this age!

    Charlie, at 5 months, had a morning sleep for around 1.5 hrs, and then an afternoon nap of about 40 mins, and to be honest, he still does that.

    Whereas Olivia at 5 months was having a 2 hour morning nap and then a 3 hour afternoon nap!!

    They both started sleeping through at 4 months, but were in hammocks rather than cots, which helps.

    But one of the girls in my Mummies group.......her little man is 5 months at the moment and he is on 3 sleeps a day (all 40 min naps) and he still wakes at least twice through the night.

    So it really does vary.......

    Honestly, it sounds to be like you and she are both doing great!
