Until this point I’ve just been letting my baby fall asleep in the day (usually after feeding) and then putting her down to sleep in her crib, she’ll either sleep or wake up and that will determine whether she naps or not. The other day she went 6 hours without a nap and today she slept for four hours in the middle of the day. It’s totally random and she leads it. But reading stuff now I feel like I should be actively putting her down for naps at certain times and trying to get some structure. Do people have any advice about where the start? Should I just pick the same time each day and try to push a nap on her? Or try to get a nap in once she’s been awake for 2 hours or so? And should I be waking her up if she’s going over 2/3 hours napping in the day? I know she’s still young so I feel like (hopefully) I’m not too late and now is the time to try to get her in good habits. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks!
