8 weeks old

Xander is now 8 weeks old. He doesn't like to sleep in the car, he doesn't like to sleep in his cot during the day, he doesn't like to sleep in his stroller... Ahhhh.... so yesterday we started Sleep Boot Camp. I'm putting him to bed dozy and refusing to pick him up unless he's really wailing. And, if I do pick him up, I calm him and then put him straight back down. Sadly this made his 45 min nap this morning 1.5 hours long and left me exhausted and tearful. If anyone has a few pointers I would LOVE to hear them. I don't even know if what I'm doing will work.

The other problem we are having is that when he falls asleep he only goes out for 20 mins or so. Then he wakes up crying. Not so good for his afternoon nap which should be 1.5 hours in order for him to be a happy chappy. If I let him cat nap he then cat feeds and is cranky all day long. Any ideas on how to get him to sleep past the 20 mins? And drugs don't count! (For him or me :)

Luckily he sleeps well in the night. He usually sleeps from 7pm - 6.30 am with only a feed at 10.30 and 4.00.

Also luckily he's so darn cute and playful when he's awake that it makes it all worth it.

Cousin Louis who is 5 weeks older and a whole lot bigger. Luckly for us we get his hand-me-downs. Louis is in 6-9 months already and Xander is just growing out of his newborns and starting to fit into his 0-3 month clothes.
