Dd2 is nearly 12 weeks, and for the past 2 weeks or so, has slept 6-8 hrs a night (!). However, she barely naps in the day, unless I'm holding her, which is tricky when I have dd1 to deal with. I'm not hugely pro-routine, but I wonder if establishing set times for her to nap would be helpful.
So my question is, how on earth do I go about doing this?! Dd1 just used to nap whenever, wherever, often in the pram, but dd2 isn't keen on napping in the pram, which leaves me at a bit of a loss. I don't particularly want to be tied to her napping in her crib. We have a Moses basket downstairs, so ideally she'd nap in that, but if she's asleep in my arms, then I put her down, she wakes up within a few minutes.
Any advice gratefully received! Also, how much daytime sleep would you expect a baby this age to need?
