Hello,
I'm new to being a mum and also mumsnet, so feeling fairly clueless, so hoping other mums may have some advice! So I'm not really sure the best way to approach DD napping. She is 5 weeks old and seems to resist napping, then we get to the dreaded over tired state. I'm unclear on whether its best to take her upstairs in the dark and try and settle her, like its night time or for her just to nap wherever. Ie. downstairs or out and about. I have read its important to fill the house with light and noise during to day to help DD identify day and night. Also if I get her used to settling upstairs in the dark then how will I ever leave the house?! Getting her to sleep is hard and once I put her down she wakes instantly, so generally were in a pickle! Sorry for the rambling message but any suggestions would be a big help! Xx
