Day 223 - Nap time
Today's first time parenting tip - Expect less nap time as your baby gets older
It seems that once you get your baby on a nice schedule of feeding, sleeping, changing, etc. They go and do something that completely makes you rework everything.
My son would nap three times a day, usually a couple two hour naps and then one shorter half hour one. It was pretty nice because it gave my wife and I a chance to do something during the day if we wanted to, or we could just relax and watch a movie or read a book.
Lately though, he's cut down his nap time significantly. Now he's down to a two hour nap in the morning, and hour nap in the afternoon, and then he's good all the way until he goes to bed.
Which is fine, because now that he's more active, we get more playtime with him. And he seems to be sleeping a little bit longer at night, which is just fine by us.
