When do babies usually take naps?

3 naps a day: Babies are all different, but generally around 3 months or so many are taking 3 naps a day. A morning nap around 9am, mid-day around noon or 1 and a later afternoon nap. Times may vary slightly depending on what time bedtime is and what time your baby wakes up.

Their own schedule: Babies' nap schedules often set themselves. Most infants will sleep on and off throughout the day and night. These naps gather into one morning and one afternoon nap at around 4 months of age, and then become one nap at around 18 months of age. Children will continue to nap once daily until 2-3 years of age, although some children will nap until they begin kindergarten.

Several times a day: One-year old babies nap about 3 times a day, usually after a feeding and some play-time. As long as a baby is happy and thriving, it is not that important whether the baby naps two, three, or four times a day.
