Messing up our routine ?

Question

What do you guys think is an appropriate amount of time to spend with the in-laws ? They love spending time with him. But I’m also trying to figure out this whole nap thing and I feel like it might mess up or take even longer if we keep changing where he naps. We usually go saturdays and Sundays for at least four hours each day. Should we not go for a two weekends until LO really has naps down ? Or will he be ok for just a few hours each day ? I don’t know what do you guys think?

Answer

Up to you! When sleep training we said no to everyone for 2 weeks. If they love and respect you... they’ll understand your conditions. But you do what’s best for you and yours.

I think it’s totally up to you! If you’ve been having trouble establishing a naptime routine, it may be worthwhile trying. I downloaded the app “My Baby,” which allows you to record nap times. It’s been helpful for me because I’ve now found that my son settles himself for a nap best if he’s been awake between 1 hr 40mins - 1 hr 50 minutes. Any earlier or any later and he cries and resists like crazy! 
We had the same issue with setting a bedtime and family visits. My inlaws like to come visit a couple of nights per week and typically arrive 7pm or later, expecting my son to still be awake to visit. We now allow them to come over; however, bedtime is bedtime (7:45-8) and they’re slowly respecting our wishes a bit more. Though we still have to give constant reminders not to get him all excited again before bed 🤦‍♀️
