Just wondered what a nap routine for this age would be like. I am struggling to get my DS to nap consistently. He gets tired after about 1 hr 50 of being awake and as a distracted feeder will only feed when sleepy. He is therefore catnapping on me at these times and this is disrupting consistent and long sleep, and yesterday only got 50 minutes of broken naps over the last two and each day. By evening he is OT and I am losing it as he is obsessed with waking in the night now (. 9, 1, 3, 5 and awake at 7) and only feeding then will get him back to sleep. . Trust me I tried everything else. So, he doesn't even get a proper nights sleep. I am feel like i am really failing him, and I am missing an obvious problem to solve to make it better but can't work it out. I am crap for not knowing what this is. He feeds so much at night and not at day( sorry that is a feeding issue isn't it, but the association is now very by strong for him). I am so tired, I just need a break to get my brain back and help me understand how to help DS. My partner is toooo busy to give me a break and DS does not know how to be put down for a nap, or even be given an expressed bottle by him, as he has rarely done this so it is all all on my shoulders. Sorry, vent, rant over, we need to do it. so how can I make my baby happy and help my beautiful son nap well at the right times. . I am getting it all wrong x x
