How do i get my 5 month old to take naps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nap time: Babies have a way of keeping their parents up. It is their way of learning and manipulating their limited environment. Many techniques exist - a good one is to get a musical device which you turn on when the child is put to sleep - a signal that mom and dad will not return for a while. Other techniques can be discussed with your pediatrician.
