hi controlfreak - my boy seems to struggle with day sleeps too - he might have a couple, but usually only manages one cycle, so can be awake for up to five hours at a time - I will be interested to see what replies you get! How do you get him to sleep at night? I think part of my 'problem' is that we co-sleep, so he doesn't have a going to sleep routine really for day time. I find that walks in the pram or doing the vacuuming around him can be good...

ss-storm - I don't think Pinky Mackay wrote Save Our Sleep - she has a book called Sleeping Like a Baby, which is about as far away from Gina Ford as you can get. As far as I know, Gina Ford's approach is more of the "controlled crying" style.
