Re: advice on baby's sleep
Hi!
That sounds so much better! It's better than my 16 month old, for sure! You're lucky!
As for naps, if he doesn't look like he has obvious signs after 1.5 hours, I'd just try to take him for the nap routine anyway, because if he makes such a fuss at 2 hours, then perhaps he is tired, but really good at covering it up! I know lots of babies/kids that NEVER look tired, and in some unfortunate cases the parents let them stay up very late at night waiting for them to pass out, but really they are quite tired and they don't really show it in traditional ways. I know my older son is still like this: when he is tired he is still running around and having fun, but he's just a LITTLE bit more accident prone, and a LITTLE quicker to screech if something doesn't go his way, but he has never really started slowing down or anything that would be easy to figure out... so maybe your little one is able to continue to play but really would benefit with slowing down and having a nap routine... maybe he just needs that slow down first... it's hard to go from playing and laughing to being asleep, so just try a little earlier? Does this sound like it could be possible?
Just an idea I thought I'd throw out there... sleep is a funny thing!
