Nap timings..

When i was a working mum, i do not have a schedule/routine for Dillion. He would nap/sleep as and when we want him to or we will get him to nap before we goes out.
When comes to sleeping for the night.. D will sleep after 11pm which i gets alots frown from the elders as they claim that its too late for a baby.

Now that i'm main care giver.. I realise a routine is good for me as well as D .
Afternoon nap
D takes his lunch at 12-12.30pm then he will nap at 1-1.30 pm for 2 hours.

Night time
Bath him at 8pm, followed by story time or play time then lights off at 8.30pm. He will sleep at 9pm.

After repeating this schedule / timing for 2 weeks, D was able to fall asleep much faster otherwise we had to spend 1 hour accompanying him on the bed.

congrats on the new routine. sleeping at 8pm plus means you'll have more free time in the evening!
