My 9 mo DS used to be a real cat napper - 40 minutes here and there. Recently, he has started napping longer - sometimes 2 hours in an afternoon (fingers crossed I've not jinxed it by this post!). He used to cat nap in his car seat if we were out and about at friends etc. However, now its longer I always tend to make sure he's home in his cot.
I have 2 friends, however, that keep going on that their children used to nap on the sofa or in their pram when they were this age.
Am I being a hung up first time mum about it all - trying to get him home to bed? Should I be more relaxed and allow him to nap wherever? I do sometimes miss out on gatherings and social times with friends as I bring him home!!
