Every child has his own unique sleeping patterns. Some babies sleep more during the day, whereas others sleep more at night. Almost all babies, however, nap.
Most young babies take three naps each day, although some take two longer ones.
A routine helps him know what to expect. It also encourages you to figure out at what time of the day your child is usually tired, hungry or wanting to play. You don't need to be rigid, but having some things occur at the same time every day will keep you and your baby on track. Have him doze off in the same place. He should nap where he sleeps at night, whether this means a crib or bassinet, so that he will associate sleep with one special place.
