Ok, I am having some trouble with nap time & know that some of my ?s may seem silly, but here goes:
1. Do you start nap as soon as you see signs(rubbing eyes, yawn, etc) or base it on how long they have been awake?
2. When I read that people put them down for a nap...I wonder what is your process...sing a song & lie them down or rock them or what exactly do you do?
With my ds I have been taking him upstairs to his nursery about 45-1 hour after he eats or when I notice a yawn or his eyes look tired. I talk to him & we walk around the room a little & then I put him in his crib & turn on his mobile/crib toy. He hangs out & coos & then begins to cry when he is super tired. The crying gets worse, so I pick him up & either walk him around or rock him. Sometimes this puts him to sleep & others he just fusses until it's time to eat again & then we just start over. This is very frustrating & I figure I must be doing something wrong because putting a 2 month old down for a nap can't be this difficult!!lol
By the way, he nurses about every 2 hours unless I am lucky enough for him to sleep through his feeding time & he will go longer. Also, he does well sleeping through the night...last night he went to bed at 9pm & woke up at 6:30am. Any suggestions welcome...TIA:)
