My 4 month old little boy used to nap regularly throughout the day. He had 4 or 5 cat naps of about 45 minutes after an awake time of about an hour and half. Most of these naps I rocked him to sleep or in his swing or he would be out about in the pram. He can't self settle during the day although is starting to at night.
However for the last three days he has fought me on every single nap to the point he is crying hysterically. I have tried playing around with the timings to see if I was catching him too late and he is overtired but it seems to make no difference. He just cries and battles against it. Is he expected to drop some naps at this age? He sleeps for 12 hours at night (7pm to 7am) with a feed before I go to bed and another feed around 5/6 hours later.
Am I missing something? He has never cried at nap times until now so I'm finding it hard to deal with.
Thanks
