5 month olds - a typical day

[Beach Mama]

nay23- Have you tried keeping him up for the full 2 1/2 hours? By 5-6 mths 2-2 1/2 hours is what the Sleep School I recently attended recommended as the rough time they could be awake and naps should be 1 1/2 -2 hours long....
I found by keeping Iz up for an extra half an hour- she started settling much better and sleeping for longer for at least one nap during the day.

hi Tanstar i did try that I called Nagala aswell about trying to get him to sleep longer and he just doesn't I even tried keeping him awake longer if he wanted to sleep before the 2 1/2 hours was up and if he is tired he just goes pscho baby :P I used to get really stressed about it and try to make him sleep but that just made us both upset so now Im happy if he stays in his room for an hour even if he only sleeps 1/2. He seems ok with that though so maybe he will be one of those lucky people that can be perfectly happy on less sleep than the rest of us. And I really can't complain cos he sleeps 9 hours at night
This is great finding out what everyone else does! Oh for 2 hour sleeps
Take care everyone
