Nap times
My lo is 20 weeks / 4 1/2 months.
Just wondering if anyone has a lo of similar age and what nap routines you have? I don't have problems with naps just wondering what other people do!
I put my lo down for a nap in the morning - sometimes she'll have it straight after her 1st feed (around 8am-9am) for 1 to 2 hours. Then I try to put her down for a nap in the afternoon. This can vary in times but try to put her down before 3pm, and she'll have anything from 1 to 2 hours then.
I now always try and put her in her cot for naps - not sure if that's best but it seems to be working ok. She doesn't look as comfy napping in her chair now she's growing! Although on Sunday she wouldn't nap in her cot in the afternoon so playing with her on living room floor - went upstairs to fetch something - come back and she was fast asleep. Little monkey!

i put my lo down 2 hours after waking in cot, curtains drawn etc... he is a buggar with sleeping only just really got it tackeled so we have a lot of crying but eventually goes off! he will have between 45mins and 2 hours... but then as i go out every day - i'm a nightmare can't stay in as such a long day! so i suppose i dont giove him a chance to have a good sleep in the afternoon.. he wont sleep in pushchair but may nod off in car whilst moving!
i heard that its good for them to have one good nap in cot a day then the rest can be out - otherwise your stuck in all the time!
