Hi, my ds2 is now nearly 6 months old. Up until about 3 weeks ago he always took quite decent naps in the day, especially at lunchtime when he'd sleep for about 2 hours. However, over the last few weeks he's stopped sleeping well at all in the day. He never sleeps for longer than 40 minutes at a time, and yet I know he's tired and needs to sleep for longer.
Have any of you had similar and did you manage to get your dcs back to taking longer naps?
Would you recommend controlled crying?
I wouldn't mind him sleeping for only 40 minutes if he seemed happy on it. But he doesn't. He is upstairs screaming his head off at the moment (having only had about 30 mins sleep all day). Won't leave him much longer as can't bear it.
What would any of you recommend?
