hello, my baby is 8 months old and she is still on a three nap schedule. is that alright? she is happy taking three naps during the day, but been seeing a lot of blogs that insist that babies of this age need only two naps a day. her nap durations vary and are never fixed. anywhere between 30 mins to 1 and a half hours. is this alright to let her transition on her own?

A. Most 8 month olds take 2 - 3 naps per day. At this age, it's common to have both 2-nap and 3-nap days if your baby is in the midst of dropping a nap. At this age, we expect babies to need a nap after 2.25 - 3.5 hours of awake time.Most babies this age should sleep 12–16 hours per day, including a stretch of 9–12 hours at night. Your baby will likely still take two naps per day. Some babies nap for 30 minutes, while others nap for up to 2 hours.
