My baby will be 4 mos old next week. She is taking 3 naps a day, with 2 long and 1 short. I realize that ideally this short nap would be in the late afternoon, but that's where we have a problem. She is unable to fall asleep after about 3 pm. She FIGHTS sleep after this time, unless she's already asleep. I usually try to time her last nap to be a long one and to start about 2:30 so she can get adequate sleep and still have an earlyish bedtime (6:30 about). She has always had trouble at this time of day, with scream-fests in her early weeks in the late afternoon. Any suggestions? Is it okay to have this sort of nap routine, with 1 long in the AM, short in the middle of the day, and long in the PM? Some days it's Short, Long, Long, or Short, Short, Long (can you decipher that jargon???!!) Help please!
