Cat Naps!!

[ShinySarah]

My 7 week old will only cat nap through the day...any suggestions??? (Other than the car that is!!)

Where do they sleep at the moment?

On me is where he prefers but will sometimes go down in his basket, sometimes!

I had this. I think my DS woke often because he was snacking (BF) and then waking with hunger. He'd get topped up then sleep, etc, etc.

Try to make sure he is really full before he goes to sleep. DS also cluster fed from 6-8 most evenings around that age, with a short snooze in between. Maddening, but seemed to grow out of cat naps around 3-4 months. I know, that seems forever away, but your DS is still tiny and soon you'll wonder where that time went.

I would let DS sleep on me or in bed with me if it meant he would sleep longer (and also I could nap, too, if we were in bed together). "By any means necessary", is my motto!

Thanks JFly...Ive started to let him snooze in my bed in the mornings but feel like it's the wrong thing to do, mad I know!!

JFly's right. By any means necessary. My DD was just like this too. She grew out of it when she was about 4 mnths old. She slept through from about 7 mnths and is still doing so (she's 13 mnths now) Don't stress about it. You'll miss them sleeping on you, it's such a special time.
