Hello and welcome to BW!
Yup the search function doesn't work but if you can use google if you put babywhispererforums and your topic, I think.
Do you know he's a touchy baby? Have you done the quiz?
The BW "Know Your Baby Quiz"My touchy one would just about never nap out of the house, I'm afraid. Best bet was in the sling. You can do things to make it more likely that your LO will nap out and about - getting timing right, getting his buggy dark and snuggly, or deciding to go out at a certain time, accept a short nap, and make it up later. Figure out what works for you. It'll be easier to do once he's on a routine. But usually I would reckon on taking a home day after a dodgy nap day, just to make sure he makes up his sleep. And remember this too shall pass, as he get bigger and needs fewer naps.
Those babies you see napping out and about have probably just passed out from exhaustion!
And that is something touchies don't really do, as they are sensitive to overtiredness and overstimulation. Because they are sensitive to overstimulation, that can cause short naps, sometimes.
An hour seems a short A time for that age. The average is more like 1hr 20-30. Touchies tend to need a good and consistent wind-down and sometimes also holding through the jolts which occur naturally about 20 mins into the sleep cycle as they transition to deep sleep.
What does a good wind down consist of (Includes 4S ritual)Different lengths of naps mean different things. So 20 mins means he's being woken by the jolts of transition to deep sleep (easy to fix, you need to just gently lay hands on him in the cot so he can't jump too much!) and 45 mins usually means he's undertired as he's waking up after one sleep cycle.
HTH! You might want to post on naps or EASY boards if you feel your question is more about routine than his touchiness
