What to do with a 2 month old in between naps ? He takes 40 minute naps and I don’t know what to do with him once he wakes up, usually I feed but after 40 minutes he’s no hungry yet. And is 40 minute naps normal?

@happymamato2, the problem I have is him not knowing when it’s night time :(

@sms123, Yes the blackout curtains would help. Especially during the day when he naps. We have blackout curtains in our room. Keeps it quite dim during the day. You can find a lot of them on amazon ☺️

@brittney.arp11, I’m just scared he won’t know the difference between day and night

@sms123 its worth a try. Darker room is a good idea

@rndmshtt, ya that all seems to be ok. It’s just hard to do anything because he’s constantly up. I don’t want to lift him from his crib because I want him to continue napping but it’s not easy. His room isn’t the darkest during the day I try to leave it this way so he knows the difference between night and day but I think if his room was darker he’d nap longer. Not sure if it’s smart to get darker curtains?

@sms123, Thats a valid concern but I wouldnt worry so much about it, maybe yours is more alert. Mine just wanted to sleep 😭🤣 Even took her to her dr. because i was worried she wasnt eating and only wanted to sleep.
As long as your little one is gaining weight, and getting enough poo and pee diapers during the day. Your little one should be okay.

@mrschanandlerbong95, the bouncer we have but it’s for babies 3+ months. He won’t be able to stand on it yet. Thanks for the tips

If he’s not fussy, I’d just let him hang out. Tummy time, sitting in a bouncer, or just laying in the floor or in my lap.

Theyre are still so young at 2 months. You can do tummy time. If you have a playmat you can put him in there. Have some toys and see if he can follow it with his eyes or maybe by the sound. I would also have my daughter practice on holding the small toys that make noise. so she learns how to grip it herself ☺️ And just lots of suggles ☺️
