Hi all,
My ds2 is now six weeks. His easy has to be fairly set due to fitting around his big brother. He has feeds at 3 hour intervals (other than one which is 2.5 hours). I have been giving him an a time of 1 hour 15 as he was fighting it if I put him down any earlier. He has two naps in his Moses basket each day and two in the sling so that I can get out with ds1. He is struggling with transitioning at the moment so I am going to start helping him a little bit more with that but my biggest problem at the moment is bedtime. He goes down in his Moses basket quite happily but then is awake for over an hour. He is happy during this time and so I have been leaving him and he eventually has been drifting off to sleep. I tried helping him tonight by patting him but because he isn't upset it didn't help. Could this be because he is having four long naps a day and not three naps and a cat nap? I haven't been doing a cat nap because he goes down for his last nap between 330 and 4 and so wouldn't make it to bedtime with just a cat nap (as I assume he would need a really short a time?). But maybe he would do a normal a time after a cat nap and then would be tired enough for bedtime? Is this a developmental thing? I remember naps being horrendous with ds1 but not bedtime.
