daytime naps

[mustardtomango]

How do you get your little ones to sleep in the day? I'm sat with a very wriggly 14 week old and I need new tricks...

He sleeps great at night, but fights it during the day. We've worked out he needs about 5 hours daytime naps to be a happy chap. Tried a few things, some of which work, it just all takes so long (and I'm screwing with the feeding schedule he sets by feeding him off to sleep).

Please help? It's exhausting, but I know he needs it as he's very grouchy and harder to deal with if we leave it.

Any tips welcome

I put DD in the pushchair, reclined with the hood pulled down and rock her to sleep - have been doing this since she was probably about 12 weeks or so. It means if I have to go out while she is asleep, I can without disturbing her, and she can nap when we are out and about without it being too different for her.

The pushchair worked until recently, but on Friday he was outraged that I'd move him whilst sleepy and just screamed. Maybe I moved him after the window?

Hmm, maybe. When DD does that, I take her out again for 10 mins of playing, put her back in and it normally does the trick. It's a really tough one, isn't it!

It wouldn't be so bad except time seems to take on a new quality, one hour literally feels like 5!
