Do children get more relaxed about sleep as they get older? At night our lg settles no problem by her self and sleeps a good 12-13 hours. However during the day, unless she is at home in her bed, she won't nap. She won't nod off in the pushchair and very very rarely does in the car unless we are out as a one off close to her bedtime. Other children seem to fall asleep having cuddles or will just relax on the sofa etc and nod off or you see them in the shops asleep in their buggy whilst their mums carry on what they are doing. Our lg is 18 months and I still find my self having to come home mid day or plan my day around her sleeps otherwise she is a grumpy mess. Obviously she is my first priority but everyone else's babies just seem to sleep where ever they are etc is this normal? She has never just cuddled up with us and fallen asleep.
