Hi Shannon. I tried the strict feed/play/sleep thing, it worked for a while but Daniel put paid to it. It's now - (as shellbell3 says) go with the flow. Daniel is a cat napper and won't often sleep more than maybe 3 x 20 minute stints during the day.

However, he goes to bed (which he did about 10 minutes ago) and I probably won't hear from him again until 7am tomorrow morning. I've learnt that trying to "make" a baby do something is usually to no avail. Daniel will do whatever he wants, when he wants. I've stopped stressing about it (which I totally was - you should have seen me!! What a mess.....) and now we're both happy and relaxed.

I'm also willing to go the daily sleeps - see and play with my son most of the day - and have a really great sleep at night. However, if he even wakes up an hour too early in the morning - the day ain't pleasant - funny that. Some days are diamonds...........

I also feed him whenever he's hungry (which is just about every three hours), and he's happy with that.

Hope that helps.
