[bumbly]

has always naped and is now 2 and 4 months old

put down after lunch/milk - still demands milk and sleeps two hours so i fugure needs it

if does not nap is utter nightmare and stumbles

bedtime thus when wakes up 5:30 is 8:30-9:00

suits us so sees hubby

but is it bad routine? and also does not instantly fall asleep in eve

without nap the odd day i have tried it he is so cranky in afternoon and seems ot not make huge difference to nighttime sleep

opinions? advice?

if it suits you and your family then why change it?

Yes ds2 (2 and 1 month) still naps for at least two hours each afternoon. And he still goes to bed about 7/7.30.

If he doesn't have a nap he gets cranky too. Stick with it, if it suits you all! Some people just need more sleep than others.

My DS2 napped until 3 1/2 for 2 hours every afternoon. It didn't affect his nighttime sleep at all and he slept 8pm-8am every night. DS1 gave naps up at 2 1/2. All children are different. If he needs sleep in the daytime, let him. Gives you a break also!
