Hi Fiona,

It is harder for babies to nap during the day as his melatonin levels won’t be as high therefore it is unlikely he will mix up day and night time sleep after the first few weeks of birth. If he does sleep past the required amount of time wake him gently. He will need to feed every 3 hours during the day. His maximum naptime allowance will be about 4 hours, split between 3 naps. Ensure his room is dark and that there is a little naptime routine such as a song while he is in the cot. This will help him look forward to getting into the cot as well as also knowing that this means sleep time.

I hope this helps.
Best Regards
Edel

My baby is currently 10weeks and settles well in his cot when going to sleep at night but it is hard to get him to sleep for his naps during the day. At what age should he be put in his night cot for daytime naps without mixing up day and night.

Many thanks,
Fiona
