Hello I am going to give you some tips on playing with your baby at night.

I myself have found it easy to get my son to sleep without a fight by playing with him until he is tired of playing. I will usually put him on a blanket in the floor and lay toys out for him. He will usually roll around and grab at the toys and then I will set him up so he can play with his ball thrower. He likes to grab at the ball machine and the balls as they come out. I will let him do that until he doesn't want to play with that and then I will find him something else to play with. He usually rolls around in the floor for awhile. I love to watch him roll around and laugh at every thing. I'll put him in his walker and he will go all over the place. Then around 9:30 or 10:00 at night he's ready for bed. So then I will put a sleeper on him and rock him to sleep. He will usually sleep through the night.

I have had some night to where he gets up at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. I will get him and feed him then play with him some more. I play with him for about an hour or an hour and a half until he gets tired again.then he usaually will go back to sleep until 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning. As far as his naps go they are completely different. During the day he might sleep 30 minutes. I usually play with him and tire him out. If I do this he will sleep for about an hour or so. He usually takes about 5 maybe 6 naps a day. If he gets up at 7:00 he will usually take a nap around 9:00 or 9:30. After he wakes up from his nap I give him a bottle then around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon I give him his lunch then around 3:00 he takes another nap. I give him his supper and a drink then around 6:30 or 7:00 he will take another nap. Then when he wakes up he plays some more and I give him a bottle with rice ceral.Then we play for awhile and then he's out for the night usually.
