This is the one thing I will take FULL credit for! hahahahaha
Being a first time mama, I didn't (and still don't) know much or what to expect... but Shh/Pat and PU/PD are true miracles. After just 2 days of shh/pat combined with PU/PD when Mateo was about 4 months....and the 45-min naps were a thing of the past.
Now, that's not say that they haven't tried to make a comeback... but thanks to what he learned in the past, we have the 45-minute nap monster up against the ropes... and he's NOT coming back!
