My second child is just 10 months old and I thought I'd be a bit more clued up this time but clearly not!
Everything seems to suggest she should be one two naps a day, aiming for around 3 hours sleep. She often just has one, it's often hard fought and on the go - in the pushchair or car. Sometimes as little as 30 mins and that's it, done. My eldest (3.5 years) is on summer holidays at the moment so I have them both all the time. Spending ages winding down and settling for a nap in her cot is just not an option, unless I just stick my eldest in front of the telly which doesn't feel great, especially when it doesn't even guarantee a nap.
Every day I give plenty of opportunities for a nap, following her signs of eye rubbing ear pulling etc but she's just not taking them.
She's ebf, and it's got to be said overwhelmingly content and happy, so perhaps I shouldn't be worrying. She starts to lose it about an hour before bedtime when it becomes hard work, and often wakes a few times in the evening before we co-sleep from 9.30/10pm.
Did anyone else have a babe who had such low nap needs from such a young age? Are they ok now...?
Thank you!
