Hello,
My DS is 6 months old and has been sleeping though the night since 11 weeks (for 11-12 hours per night) but has difficulties with naps in the day.
He has always slept at night in a separate cot, but for some reason struggles to nap unless he is on me or my husband, since about 6 weeks old. I've tried putting him down sleepy, actually asleep, in the same room as us, in his room with the blackout blinds. Nothing seems to work and he usually gets in a state if I try to put him down. He will fall asleep in the pram or the car, so I know he is happy to fall asleep separately.
Two questions I have, does it actually matter if he naps on us if he sleeps well at night (or am I setting him up for bad habits)? Also, could trying to persist with sleep training in the day affect how well he sleeps at night?
Thanks
