He just fights and fights it.

I am attempting the feed, wake then nap thing... But he just won't nap. And if he does he wakes himself within 5 minutes of falling asleep.

Please help!

Try the Guardian Sleeper. It worked so well for my little girl.She felt like she was being held. So she slept longer at night and at naptime. It is worth a try Guardiansleeper.com Good luck

you don't. At that age you have to go with the flow of the baby. They do what they need to do when they need to do it. Just put him down when you see he's getting tired. YOu can't really start a schedule or anything like that till at least 3 months. If your having troubles with nights and days being mixed up I can give you the tips the nurses here gave me. They really worked to get it all straight. Sory I'm not much help.
