I'm having nap hell. Until recently I was quite happy that ds only napped in pram as liked getting out and about, and even five minutes outside and then bringing him back into the house usually did the trick. But now the weather's so grim and i've begun to feel that he should be able to nap inside the house. Sometimes it works if I push him for about twenty minutes up and down in the pram but this is so tedious and involves a fair bit of crying too. I wonder if I'm putting him down for more naps than he needs. This is usually what I do:
7.30am feed
9am 40 minute nap
midday or just before: another nap
sometimes he takes this one in two chunks so wakes up for a feed at about 1pm, then goes back to sleep at 2pm until 3pm.
then he starts getting really cranky around 5pm so i often try to get him to sleep. he screams if I put him in his cot, or keep him in his pram, but i can tell he needs sleep.
so myquestion is this: how many naps did your four month old have, and how did you settle in the cot. my ds screams blue murder the minute i lie him down in his cot and the screaming just goes on...
sorry if this is too long
