I'm looking for some advice on getting my six month old son to sleep better, particularly for nap times. I would consider him to be 'high need', or at least on that end of the spectrum, he's very active, sensitive, feeds constantly, awakens easily etc. He is very smart and has caught on to all of the ways I used to get him to sleep and fights it with everything he's got. The only ways to get him to sleep now are car rides, and my wearing him for half an hour or so, but I can't seem to put him down from the wrap anymore, even if I wait 30 minutes he wakes as soon as he hits the crib. Lying down with him doesnt do the trick either. I'm wondering if other people have had much success with having a very consistent daytime routine. We have a set bedtime routine (which works about half the time), but our days are still all over the place, mainly because I signed up for lots of baby and me classes which are all at different times of the day. I've recorded his tired times, naps time, bedtimes and wake-up times and they are completely different everyday. I don't want to waste months stressing over a routine if its just not for my baby. I would also like continue some of our classes so we get our an socialize with other moms and babies. My doc told me to just go with the flow and he'll sleep when he's tired but maybe he needs more structure than that? Has anyone had success or failure with routines, especially with a high need baby?? Any other nap time advice??

Thanks.
