Hi all,
I am new to this forum- I hope I have posted in the correct place!
My baby is almost 5 months and I have been implementing PUPD and naps in the cot in the past 10 days. Previously my baby would only nap in the buggy or the car, often with the buggy inside the house pacing up and down with white noise. The naps were 1-2 hours but now we are doing all naps at home in the cot with PUPD (and white noise still), they are only ever 30-45 mins. I have found it hard to follow an EASY pattern with the short naps and now he is massively grumpy and overtired! I tried to extend naps with PUPD a couple of times and he was so angry and upset for the rest of the day.
PUPD has decreased the night wakings from 4-7 to 2-3 which is more manageable. He is a spirited baby though and can be resistant to PUPD, on good days it takes maybe 5 mins and 1 put down but on bad days it has taken up to 2 hours and I have abandoned naps completely! He doesnt stop crying when I pick him necessarily..
I would love to hear others people's advice and success stories as some days I am really struggling with the PUPD tears.
Many thanks,
