[blparent] question of napping

[Scott Lawlor]

Hi.

We've noticed a small pattern with Leah and I'm wondering if you guys have any thoughts on this.

It seems that if she doesn't get her afternoon nap, she has a bit of a meltdown that night.  I thought this only happened when they were a bit older and not at 5 weeks but if this is the case, do you have any tips on getting her to nap during the day?

I think the time is coming up for us to start a bedtime routine, or at least I've read that this can begin around the 6 week mark or close to it.

We did take her out today on two walks and ran a couple of errands so maybe that was too much activity for her but she seemed to be happy in the stroller and the sling we got.

Thanks for the info.

Scott
