I'm a FTM and have a 10 week old DS. At 6 weeks he hit the stage where he stopped napping of his own accord in the day and getting overtired if he didn't nap. The only way I can get him to nap in the day is in the sling or in the car (i.e. movement sleep). I also feed him to sleep at night and during the night. clearly I don't want to be doing this forever but am I setting myself up for trouble down the line? Is he too young to teach self soothing now? Will I probably have to do controlled crying come 6 mths to teach him how to get to sleep himself? I feel like I've opted for the easy option at the moment but don't know if it's worth perservering now by spending ages on the bedroom trying to get him to nap there in the day. Any advice gratefully received!
