He's an extremely light sleeper unfortunately, same as me 🙁 so all attempts to lift him from car seat to cot have all ended up with him wide awake and not going back to sleep. He had better naps today but only because we were out and about a lot. But at bedtime he did settle himself and went off to sleep! I was shocked! He did wake 2 hours later and was screaming so much my husband had to pick him up. He fell back to sleep in his arms and he put him back down in cot and is still asleep now.
The thing with gradual withdrawal is I have a 4 and 5 year old too so can't leave them on their own for too long. So can't spend loads of time in baby's room.
Can I ask, if baby short naps how much A time should I give roughly? Say if he naps 30 mins only should i knock 30 mins off A time? Or naps 45 mins, do I give full A time? He's the kind of baby that doesn't show signs of tiredness until it's too late! This guy rarely even yawns! 🙄
