[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the insanity of 1:50. 4 mths is a pretty typical time for a change in pattern. He should be moving towards two long naps a day, one in the morning and one mid-afternoon, each of 2 or more hours. Try managing his activity and feeding schedule to work towards that goal. So feed/play/nap - use outdoor time to reinforce day/night physiological cues. Use lots of stimulating play time after meals to help ready him for napping, use a consistent napping routine and location to develop sleep cues and patterns etc... Hopefully the parents will be on board with this process also. I'm not a nanny, but I had twins - so building and maintaining a consistent schedule was essential in our house and these are some of the things we did. Good luck.[/quote]
