Help needed.... naps.....
in Baby
My son is now 20 weeks old, and whilst we have mastered sleeping through the night, he only ever naps for roughly 30-40 mins at a time throughout the day.
So how can i get him to sleep for a long nap rather then catnaps??
He self settles and has no dummy. I have tried letting him have a little cry in hope he goes back down, but that doesn't work either!!
He has roughly 4 naps totalling 2 hrs maximum.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks

My DD used to do the same thing, I'd had enough of not being able to get things done so I tweaked things. Since I tweaked (she was 6 months) she has an hour and 15 mins (sometimes a bit more) in a morning and around 45mins - an hour mid afternoon (she used to have a catnap at 4pm but she dropped that). She's now almost 10 months.
You don't say where your LO takes his naps??
Well, when I tweaked I put her back to bed in her cot, with the sleeping bag on too.
She used to sleep downstairs during the day in her swing chair/sofa/playmat etc.

Jacob naps in his cot (if we are home). I do walk alot, but again Jacob will only ever sleep for 40 mins in his buggy Even bought a different buggy to see if it would make much difference!!
I will try the walking again and see what happens! The dog will be grateful of an extra long walk twice a day!!
