Catnapping is something every baby will do at some point. My youngest had to be resettled between sleep cycles just about every 2nd day for a few weeks, until her sleep consolidated and she learnt to nap for longer.
Do babies grow out of catnapping?
Most babies eventually do grow out of catnapping. So even if you do nothing your baby's day sleep will get longer as they grow, eat more food and move more.
Why do some babies catnap?
These can include poor sleep habits, illness, hunger, teething or being too hot or cold. It is very normal for infants to have a small catnap in the afternoon to get them through until bedtime, but if all your babies naps are short, it might be worth looking into setting up some more structured nap routines.
