daytime naps for 8 week old

Hello everyone

am now proud mum to josh aged 8 1/2 weeks. He is good at sleeping through the night - generally from around 7pm to 7am waking once for a feed. He has been doing this since i have put him in his own room with a blackout blind!

the only problem i have is trying to get him to have a nap in the day - some days he doesnt sleep at all. I have tried to taking him for walks which sometimes works or putting the hairdryer on (which he will sleep for about 10 mins to). If i put him in his cot he just crys and i dont think it fair to leave him for more than 5 mins, he gets very irritable.

but everyday it is different - some days he will sleep for 2-3 hours in the day. should i be trying to get him into a routine of certain naptimes??

please help if anyone has had the same problem
sarah
