How many naps does your baby take during the day?




Our baby is 6 months old. We’re having sleep troubles with him. He is snack napping during the day. He takes 3 20 minute naps and by bed time he is so tired he screams for 30+ minutes before he finally falls asleep. It’s quite a project getting him to bed…

How do your babies sleep during the day? Any suggestions to get mine to sleep just a little longer during the day?
We have a routine. Bed time is the same time and place daily. He knows it is sleepy time too. His dead give away is rubbing his eyes.

My twins are almost two and have learned how to climb into each others cribs. Sometimes they fall on the floor when they do this, so I’m thinking toddler bed time. Should I give them seperate beds, or should they share a queen bed? They shared a crib until they were 7 or 8 months and would fit any more.
Do you think it would be harder with one bed or two? And do you think if they are in the same room still that it will even be possible to keep them in their beds at all? How do I even attempt this?

Should I bathe my 3 week old infant everyday?




My pediatrician suggested bathing him only 3 times/week as to not dry out his skin. A bath really helps to calm him and help him relax for bed time. He has his days/night mixed up, so I find this is a good way to let him know it’s night and time for bed. If he has a bath, he will sleep 3-4 hours at a time. If he doesn’t, he is up every hour and a half.

Would it be better if I just do a full bath w/ shampoo and all 3 times/week and the other times just use clear water? Suggestions?

I was watching one of the nanny shows last night and she said that most 2 year olds are sound asleep by 8:30pm and it got me questioning my 16 month old’s routine. So…what time does your toddler go to sleep,what time does your toddler wake up, and what is your toddler’s bed time routine-out of curiosity. Thanks!

My daughter is 18 months and she has always gone to sleep very easily. I put her in bed and immediately leave the room and she just goes to sleep without any problems or crying. I am worried that if I put her into a toddler bed that bed time will turn into a nightmare of continaul getting up and into things in her room. How do you know when the time is right?
