Daytime naps?
Hi
Just wondering how many naps your LOs have and for how long? I'm demand feeding my LO (16 weeks old) and thought we were finding a vague routine but he just doesn't seem to want to sleep in the day any more - or at least not reliably. He might have 45 minutes in the morning, up to an hour early afternoon and maybe 45 mins late afternoon (which is not ideal as its near his bedtime), but this is not every day. It has suited us to a ceratin extent because I've felt I can go out and about with him and not worry too much about nap times but am concerned that recently he's been shattered by bedtime. I know all babies are different but most of the books I've read seem to expect them to have at least one longish nap at this age - usually in the middle of the day. If I put him in his room and he's not tired he just cries and I eventually have to get him up. How are your LOs doing?
