Re: Ugghh, getting this kid to nap

Did you try putting some soft toys in her crib and doing the drop and run?

Re: Ugghh, getting this kid to nap

I am right there with you!!! Jack will practically beat me up before every naptime. He has just recently gotten SLIGHTLY better.

I don't really have any advice for you either bc what works somedays - won't work the next.

I'm hoping he will start to grow out of this soon!

It is so frustrating though when you know they are so tired and just can't get relaxed. Chat Icon

Re: Ugghh, getting this kid to nap

My Lainie is the same way....she is exhausted and her eyes are rolling from side to side but still she won't take a nap and holds out until the very last second. Then she only takes a 30 minute nap. I have been consistant with putting her down at the same time everyday though.

Re: Ugghh, getting this kid to nap

same here!! This is my biggest struggle (lately) I'm reading a new sleep book. I hope it helps soon!! DD only naps in her highchair or the carseat or on walks in the stroller. Chat Icon I've spent hours in the reading catalogs & magazines. Now I'm reading the sleep book in the car. Chat Icon I'm determined to win this battle.

I hope your battles get better too.
