doesnt want to nap in the afternoon.

Bryan goes down very easily for his morning nap around 11 but will not go down for his afternoon nap at all and its literally driving me nuts he sreams in his crib for a full hour. I have tried everything under the sun, to get this kid to nap. I have ctried rocking , bottle no bottle, letting cry, controlled crying, cheking, not checking basically everything- I know he is tired yewt he wont sleep- and he doesnt take a really long morning nap either- just one hour topps- Im at ends of what to do - he goes to bed currently at 715-7.30 he doesnt usuallt make it the whole night either

eta- he is 13 months

Re: doesnt want to nap in the afternoon.

Maybe he is getting ready to drop that nap. I've heard of year old babies going down to one nap a day. My daughter is 10 months and she often skips her afternoon nap as well.

Maybe you can try giving the morning nap earlier and see if he goes for longer and you can drop the afternoon nap, or maybe do the morning earlier and he might be more tired for the afternoon nap!
