DS is 3 and a half months old, and whilst he is sleeping reasonably well at night his daytime sleeping seems to be getting more and more erratic.
He seems unable to sleep for more than 45 mins tops during the day (whether in his cot, in his buggy or in my arms....although we normally put him in the cot if we're at home), and then gets tired after being awake for 90 mins. I seem to spend my whole day putting him down for naps and getting him up!
Is this normal?? He has had 5 naps today - all 35-45 mins in length. He goes to sleep v well, usually dozes off within 5-10 mins of fussing if he has his dummy.
I have tried soothing him back to sleep when he wakes, putting his dummy back in - all to no avail. he is just awake after 45 mins and that's that. He doesn't often wake up and cry, and his waking rarely coincides with being hungry: he's just AWAKE and cooing/smiling!
Do I just have to accept the fact that he is not going to have a lovely long 2 hour nap in the middle of the day and that i am never going to get any housework done?? Are some babies just catnappers??
