Is my son too young to be put on a blanket on the floor or on a playmat? He is 5 weeks old. He only sleeps for 2 two hour sleeps during the day - morning and after noon. i have found he stays awake for an hour or so over lunch time, and i usually take him for a walk in the pram. Due to Melb weather this isn't always possible, but i can't put him down otherwise he screams.
Different people have said their children happily lay on the floor 'for hours' at this age, others have said he is too young - just hold him. If i hold him, he just goes to sleep in my arms.
i am assuming he needs some kind of awake time.
