[blparent] question of napping

[Elizabeth Cooks]

This will happen at any age. at this age, she should be geting two 
naps...one in the morning, one in the afternoon. If you want her to take 
both of them, schdule the afternoon after lunch.  Veronica's right.  The 
earlier you start a bedtime routine, the better it is for you and the baby. 
Give her a woarm bath, sing her a song, read a very short book.  whatever 
the routine is, she'll get used to it in time.
