The Contented Little Baby Book routine

[Ajamy]

Would like to know if there is anyone else using the "Contented Little baby book" routine. I have a 6 month old and have been using the routine since he was 5 weeks old. The routine is fantastic but would like to hear some reasuring feed back that it is ok to break the routine now and then. I am worried I have lost my self confidence in taking him out at times when he is usiually sleeping as he is now not sleeping in the car or pram easily.
Thanks

My DS happened to naturally fall into the routine as suggested by the book, but at about 6-7 months started to sleep for shorter and shorter periods both in the morning and afternoon. I spoke with my clinic sister who informed me that I wasn't keeping bubs up long enough. Since about 7.5 mths I have kept him up for periods of approx 3.5 hours and he is doing the same sleeps 2.5-3 hours per day but just at later slots in the day. I think the 2.5 hours up time as suggested in the book between sleeps isn't enough as babies get older.
