Hey guys,

My little one is 3 months old now and is awake for much longer periods of the day (she stays awake for 2 hours now at a time). The only thing is, she doesn't really nap for longer than 45 minutes - around every third day she will have a lunch time nap for 3 hours, but generally her naps last 45 minutes. Now, I know that their sleep cycles are around 40 minutes, and I have tried getting her back over to sleep sometimes when she wakes but she is bright as a button. Do you think she's just a baby who catnaps and functions well? She is really happy and bright when she is awake - obviously the closer we get to the next naptime, she can get a tad cranky but that is ok.
So she has around 3-4 (sometimes 5) naps in a day and goes to bed at around 8pm at night, wakes a couple of times for a feed and then gets up for the day anytime between 6am-8am.

It seems to be working for us but I just hope that she is getting enough napping in the day time.
Everything I read on the subject suggests that baby needs a longer nap around lunchtime - and sometimes she does this but generally not.

Not sure where I'm going with this but just wanted to get some reassurance and see what others experiences are of naps!
Thanks
