Thats it, i give up !!
in Baby
Hi Ladies
Tyler is a nightmare to try and nap during the day, i'm trying to follow EASY but when he has a long nap in the afternoon he doesn't sleep well at night. So i'm giving up with any sort of routine during the day apart from his feeds as this boy jut wont conform to any books and I just get upset trying to make him nap when he obviously doesn't want to, he's had 2 40 min naps today and is now in his jungle after me trying to get him for a long nap for the last 2 hours.
Anyone else's baby wont follow a book, or is it just mine thats a rebel !!!!

ps - DS is 25 weeks tomorrow
If you AND your baby are happy going with the flow then do so. I'm really not sure that a routine is better than no routine - in fact I don't understand how you can stick to a routine and still have a life outside your house!
its only his afternoon nap we have a problem with, he wakes at 6am, then naps at 8, and then 10.30-11 then it should be , then at 4 as two hours is his max. this afternoon he napped from 1 until 1.40 in the car then went back to sleep in the car for 10 mins at 3, and after hours of yelling and fighting has now fallen back to sleep at 5, but he goes to bed at 7 so am now going to have a nightmare tonight.
i think we need to stay in tomorrow and work on his naps, i still think he's abit unwell although temp is normal he's grouchy and not fussed on his bottle

I wouldnt worry too much if he's been awake for a while, he'l certainly let you know when he's tired. I know every baby is different, but i also find if he has too much sleep in the day he never settles properly at night x
Still I have learnt what signs to watch out for and he does go down a bit better when I know that he's tired.
Honestly I believe babies will do there own thing anyway, we just have to try to get them to have a manageable day/night!
