Tor months sooner or laterD your
child may shift from two maps day
to one. The tricky question during
this change-about period is what
time of day is naptime? Too early,
and baby feels insulted; too late
and he's exhausted!
O Clues to watch for: if baby
shoves with his feet when you hold
him, souirms restlessly, or sucks his
thumb persistently, he's probably
telling you he's had it for now, and
wants snooze. Crankiness and cry
ing are obvious signals.
o One nice long nap after an early
lunch may suit for several days,
then suddenly two maps are needed
again. The best you can do IS to
watch for signs of fatigue, offer your
baby nice, restful nap-but don't
insist that he take 1T.
