Help! Naps plus

[Redken24]

Looking fr advice for my nearly seventh month old - she doesnt nap for very long (catnaps usually) is there something I can try to extend this? I usually try and put her for a nap in cot an hour after waking, sometimes succesful recently not so much. She goes to bed at night awake and goes to sleep herself.

Also tried to put her in her own room tonight and it was a disaster - we haven't spent much time in there and she screamed blue murder at being in there. Any tips?

The most successful way to establish longer naps that I have found is to keep daytime naps in the bouncy chair until they are consistantly around 90 minutes long, and then move to cot naps.

Then, at the first sign of any light movement or face-scrunch, id immediately start foot bouncing the bouncer to move baby from a light sleep back into a deep sleep. Do this regularly enough and baby stops stirring at all between sleep cycles and just goes straight back into another sleep cycle.

Once we got to that point, then I moved bouncer naps to cot naps and established their timings (rather than the flexible timings needed with shorter naps).

She doesn't seem to sleep in her bouncer anymore or very often - will give it a try and see if it will work.
The only nap I try and make sure is at the same time is one before 430 every day.
Thanks for replying Fate.😀

Pushing back and forth in the pushchair/pram (not necessarily on a walk, in the house would be fine) recreates a similar type of movement, would that be better?
