Xavier used to wakes up after an hour of sleep, which I thought is normal to have short naps at this age so I will just picked him up and to go along the day... but after talking to some mummies and his masseuse then I realised that he actually needed more sleep, even if he was laughing and playing.
So I started compulsory rest or nap time. even if he doesn't want to sleep. He will rest. Everyday, after his bath and milk, he will stay on bed for at least 2 hours, sometimes he will self entertain in his cot for two whole hour by himself and fall asleep at the end of it, sometimes he goes straight to bed immediately.
Whatever the case is, this rest time is "compulsory" and is definitely does him good, he is exceptionally happy after the nap and like us, he needs a quiet time to rest too, be it nap or not. this is one area I am rather proud to say, has been very successful... now his nap time can stretch up to 4 hours per nap (currently have 2 naps per day) ... it hard to describe how we do it, some how he knows it and he expects the rest time and it does wonder for everyone. (hope he can stay this way.....:))
