For a while my DS was going down for naps after being awake for 2-2.5 hours and it worked quite well. His naps were always short (30-40 minutes) so he'd have 3 or 4 a day. Now I can't seem to get him to sleep without a major meltdown and I was wondering if I am trying to put him down too soon? I have tried having him awake for 3 hours today but he still screamed when I was putting him down. I don't know if he was overtired or not tired enough...Everytime when I think I have learned to read his cues and understand his needs everything changes again :/
He has just cut his first two teeth and had his 3rd lot of jabs two days ago, so maybe this is also contributing to his grumpiness and difficulties with settling?
Anyway, could you wise mumsnetters advise - how long on avarage do babies his age manage to be awake for?
