Thankyou for the reply and advice.
Had a school event yesterday morning so he had his morning nap in the sling, just 20 mins as he never naps long out and about. He was just the same in the afternoon though. He tries so hard to settle. He has a very unique sleep mantra.
School holidays now so don't have the worry about the school run but need to keep routine around it I guess. His first nap today was from 8.40 (woke at 5.20 am argh) until 9 40, he settled by himself in five mins. I put him down at 1.15 for afternoon nap. Again he really struggled, kept doing his sleep mantra, then crying a bit, then sleep mantra. This went on for about 50 mins until I stepped in. Even then he struggled to get to sleep. He ended up falling asleep at 15.00 with help and had a OT 20 mintue nap. He was up last night from 9pm until midnight. Even with help he struggled to get back to sleep. Tried calpol, teething gel the lot. It is soo strange that he can self settle easily for first nap and bedtime but not afternoon and night waking. Argh, need to get this sorted before he goes to the childminder. I don't want him to find it really hard to sleep there, poor thing
something's seems wrong put I can't put my finger on it.
