My DD is nearly 3mo and so far so good with night sleeping (9.30pm to appox. 7am although I know this can all change with growth spurts/teething etc). I know I'm very lucky with regards to the night times. My query is about day time napping - DD breastfeeds very frequently and for only short periods of time during the day (could this be making up for no middle of the night feed?). She often falls asleep at the breast and can be very clingy because of requring frequent feeds (as in not really staying held by other people inc. DH for any period of time). She only sleeps during the day for less than 20mins at a time and as soon as I try to put her in the moses basket her eyes spring open and she wants to be up again. I'm wondering if she is comforting herself by frequently BF because of being tired as opposed to being hungry and maybe I should try to put her down for an afternoon nap and make that into a routine, or is she having enough sleep at night. Any advice will be great. TIA
