Mommy of six says:
Naps were critical for us. Five of our 6 kids took naps until they started kinder, the other one wanted to be like big brother (and is very stubborn) and stopped taking daily naps at about 3 years old. Naps and sleep time in general were very scheduled. Advice, start a routine that works for you and your baby early on. Not everyone can follow a book or other people’s advice. Do what feels right and makes the whole family happy. My kids NEEDED sleep and schedules were critical since we had several kids.
