Hello
I am just trying to get some idea of how many naps my 8 month old should be having. He currently has 4 bottles a day and two meals, though will be starting to give 3 meals shortly. I don't know how to fit everything in.
He goes to bed at night around 8 or half 8 at the moment (bottle around half 7) and sleeps 10+ hours at night. He is fussing to go to bed sooner I think because he is resisting his afternoon nap/naps. So yesterday I tried giving him his bottle at 7 but he wouldn't settle once upstairs and I had to bring him back down.
He has a reliable morning nap of 1.5 - 2 hours but after this it just depends. Sometimes he has one, sometimes two naps. I see his cues and put him down for a nap, but some days he will fight even though he is clearly exhausted. When he is 'nap resisting' he is ready for his nap too late and I just can't get the timing right. A couple of times I have woke him to give him his last bottle, change nappy and straight back to bed.
