Help! My dd is 4 months old now. She sleeps fairly well at night (7-11, then feed, then 1130-around 5-6am). The big problem is daytime sleeps - they're all over the place. I breastfeed every 4 hours (7,11,3,7,11) and she just seems to take around 45 mins-1 hour naps here and there, with no structure/reglarity. Some days it's as little as 2 or 3 45 min naps. Occasionally she'll go down for an hour and 15 or an hour and a half. According to Baby Whisperer she should have two or three hour-and-a-half naps a day - !!!! How can I get her to take longer naps? When she has hardly any sleep, she's a cross, grumpy baby by 5pm and it's a tearful bedtime at 630 or 7!!! Makes for a stressful couple of hours. Need I worry? Or should I (as my husband says) be grateful that she's pretty good at night?
