dee, i find that at this age, sleep creates sleep. in other words, the more ds2 sleeps in the day, the better he sleeps at night.i therefore, do everything i can to encourage sleep during the day, and this in turn, makes him sleep better at night itms? ....so....i basically do whatever it takes to create sleep- including: hab, feeding to sleep, walking in pram, driving in car, rocking in rocking chair, cradle swing...whatever it takes!
