[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can your DH be the one to put him to nap? So he's spending time with baby, but still respecting the schedule?

I agree that your baby is a week or two away from being a lot more awake on a regular basis, so some of this is somewhat moot. But at this age it's not about play/not play. It's just about actively caring for the baby.

Also, please do bear in mind that soon your baby will want to be more awake...and you need to let him. My SIL (baby born in June) really struggled with that transition to needing to let the baby just experience the world, because she had invested so much energy in monitoring the routine. As I'm sure you know, it's critical for development that around 12weeks babies really start to see and interact with the world.[/quote]

OP here. I know he will be more awake soon and want to stay up for longer periods. He used to only stay up for 45-60 minutes and then 60-75 minutes. Now it’s 75-90 minutes. Most 3 months old have a 90 minute wake window and then he will likely start staying awake for two hours.

My husband does put him down on the weekends. He can put him down as much as he wants this week, but if he’s gets overtired and cries, he gives him to me. My son is thriving on this schedule and I don’t want him to get overtired and put him through 30 minutes of crying. That’s not fair to him as baby to have that stress.
