Hi, some days he'll nap for an 1 to 2 hrs, but these longer naps have really only be occurring during the last 3 weeks or so. They dont happen very often and are really random. Our days are so mixed up right now because bedtime is taking ssoooooo long he's missing out on so much sleep and I cant rectify it.

I do have block out blinds. but to be honest sometimes it seems that he sleeps better with the daylight?? Not sure what to do here.

Wind down routine for a nap is I usually dance and carry him around for prob 20 mins to calm him down. i start this in the lounge and then move to his room, sometimes if the room is dark he becomes cranky (arches his back ) almost like he knows he's about to be put down for a nap. He fights sleep so hard at the moment.

The last three nights have been screaming matches before bed now. I cant even calm him myself. He just seems so awake at the times he's supposed to be sleeping.

Night time wind down routine is Breastfeed, solids, then a story in his room , sit quietly, a lil dance and pat on my shoulder and when drowsy put into cot. Lately this is taking hours!!
