Tips on getting baby on a better schedule?

Richardsmom_817 · January 2015

My child takes one nap per day & that's from 2-6. Not an ideal time...10-2 would obviously be my ideal. He just won't nap before that ;/ He is up until 1130-midnight every night once he gets up at 6...not fun.

Move 4 time zones west?

I've always heard if you have an older dog, you should get a puppy so the older dog can train it.

Maybe you should have your four older children train the baby? Yes?

Have Richard talk to him. He was the perfect sleeper, so maybe he has a tip or two for him...

I just ask my kid nicely and say please and he naps whenever I want. He's very well behaved.

Guise, I am the only one who provided advice that would actually work. Come on. Take this seriously!

@mommymeg143‌--great minds think alike.

@Richardsmom_817‌ Let me get this straight. Your kid takes a 4 hour nap, and you're bitching about it. Really??

@Curlyfries851‌ I want ALL the gin right now. Witching hour for my duo is in full force!

@Richardsmom_817 when you figure it out, can you please pass along your trick? I'd REALLY like LO to sleep during prime TV watching time. It's really not convenient to have to keep pausing the DVR.

You could treat it as day/night confusion. Keep the lights bright and on during the daytime hours and dark during nighttime. My kid was not napping and I started doing the following: after every 2-3 hours of awake time, I close the blinds, swaddle him and then feed him. I shush and rock him until he falls asleep. It has really helped with our sleep situation overall. There is no schedule but we also try and do a bedtime routine between 730-830, bath, pajamas, swaddle, food, rock/shush to sleep. You could try something similar.
