soooo I am trying to get Elijah to start having naps at certain times (vaguely) according to tracy hogg's book - thank you ladies!
It is already making a difference after 3 1/2 days of hard work, but I'm wondering about naps.
None of Eli's naps have lasted more than an hour and most are 40 minutes almost on the dot - now when he gets up he's wide awake but still yawny and when I go to feed him he falls asleep, if I try and put him down again he wakes up....
Do you reckon it is just an association between food and sleep which is making him sleepy? I would prefer he napped for longer, the book says 1 1/2 - 2 hours!
He normally feeds every 2-3 hours so I think his usual eating times are cutting his naps short because he's hungry before he has had lots of sleep
I dunno if that made any sense, any suggestions?
