To feel I can’t leave the house

DS has a nap once every two hours. He won’t nap in the pram or his sling - only his cot at home. The last couple of times I’ve tried to take him out for any longer than an hour (roughly all I’ve got left before the next nap once I’ve fed, changed him etc) he’s missed a nap due to not being able to sleep when out. Both times he’s become extremely overtired and grumpy and very difficult to settle to sleep by the time we get home. So what’s the solution to this - do I have to forget about leaving the house for longer than an hour until he’s old enough to drop a nap, whenever that may be?

Also, I was hoping to book a couple of baby classes, but if these coincide with his nap times (which I can’t predict as they vary each day) then what am I meant to do? Feeling a bit trapped right now Sad

Hi! Sorry for the long wait for me to reply. Ive gone back to work and its wonderful!

Our pram has a recline function but doesnt lay totally flat. I put it the flattest it could go which was a similar position to laying on a sun lounger, IYSWIM. So maybe 30°. He much preferred it. He was comfortable enough to sleep there if he wanted too. Hes very nearly 6 months old now and can sit on his own, so ive put it to the full sitting position and recline it if hes sleepy.
