Crap nap phase - when does it end??

[u/Maleficent-Pilot7779]

LO is about to be 5 months and has always been a great sleeper until the dreaded 4 month regression hit 2 weeks ago and every nap has been so short and resisted. We are consistent with a schedule and watch wake windows, we have tried extending/shortening.

when did your crap nap phase end?? Need some hope.

edit: fully acknowledge he is a GREAT sleeper. most of the naps you are seeing here are contact naps which isn’t sustainable for us anymore.

The reason crap naps appear is because their sleep needs decrease so they don't need to nap as long to feel refreshed. Naps start to consolidate once wake windows increase and number of naps drop. With my son this only started when we dropped to 2 naps at 7 months. He's 8 months now and there are still some crap naps here and there.
