My 6 month old trio only takes about 30 minute naps 3 times a day. I realize this isn't long enough. Once in a blue moon, they will sleep for an hour and a half once a day, then we are back the 30 minutes. Does anyone have or did anyone half cat nappers like this? And if you had them awhile ago, are they good sleepers now?? Mine also do not sleep through the night. The whole sleeping issue is a tough one for me, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I put them down for a nap anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours after they eat. I put them down with a pacifier, hold their hands then swaddle them. I leave the room. 90% of the time they fall asleep. At other times I have to go in and do it again. But only one more time. They are asleep by then. The rooms are dark and quiet. Should I be playing music? They go to sleep for bed by a lullaby CD I have. Would I be confusing them by playing a different CD for naps??

Well, just wondering if anyone else had catnappers out there and it didn't hurt them as future sleepers.

(I just want them to sleep!!! So I can sleep!! )
