Hello,
Im just looking for some advice on a much talked about subject - naps!
My DD is 13 weeks and we don’t have a routine, I like to get out every day and that can be going for a walk, meeting up with friends, seeing family, baby classes etc, I really like keeping busy! We very rarely spend the full day at home… do you think I’m creating issues not having a consistent nap routine? She naps in varies places, the pram, car seat, on me, in her sling etc and the length of nap varies day to day. Obviously there’s the odd melt down when she’s overtired but I’m guessing most babies have this?
We have a nighttime routine of bath and bed and she is put down at 7, wakes up once for a feed and back to sleep until 6/7.
I’ve seen so many posts on social that babies should have their naps at the same time each day in a dark room etc etc but I just feel like that will really limit what we can do. We also don’t follow eat play sleep, it doesn’t work for us at all and we both get very stressed. It’s more play, eat, sleep, is this ok?
So basically am I creating bad habits by not having a routine and should I start implementing one? lastly am I creating a monster who will constantly want to be out seeing people/things and not be at home?
Would love to know your experiences.
