Longer naps - thanks for the great advice!
« on: February 21, 2012, 11:37:35 am »
Hi
Just wanted to post a quick 'thank you' as my LO, who is 5 months today, is usually a 45 min napper. he's pretty good and goes down for them without bother, but rarely sleeps more than 45 mins. After reading your threads in the FAQ section about tips for increasing naps, today I went up to his room after about 35 mins to watch him as he woke up. As soon as i saw him stir I gave him a very gentle shhh/pat to settle him down again and literally within 10 seconds he was back asleep again - and that was 50 mins ago, so he's now had 1 hr 40 nap. Brilliant! I intend to keep doing this so the little man will hopefully soon learn to do it on his own.
Thanks so much for all the great advice.
Sarah

Just a further update. Today I went up again at about 35 mins, all ready to jump in with some shhh/patting. in the end, I didn't even have to do anything - I watched my LO stir at about 40 mins, wriggle about a bit, and then settle back off to sleep. Nap was in total 1 hr 30, so feeling pretty pleased.

And so you should! :) Well done.

I remember the feeling well, even though it was 2 years ago when BW first made a difference to my LO's sleeping :)

Hope it continues for you xxx
