How do other mommy's get their little ones to nap? My son screams his lungs out, cries and it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong! Not only do i need napping advice but during car rides he Whines and Whines NONSTOP! He used to baby talk and playfully yell, nap easily but he doesn't do that anymore. All he does is whine, ALL DAY and fight his sleep to where he is just restless. Do any mommy's experience this on a daily? How do you deal with it?
@drea_93 he sucks his thumb and lately that doesnt even work amymore. But I'm trying the cry it out method right now and it doesnt seem to be working. Not even calming tablets or drops work😞 but hopefully he just falls asleep
My oldest daughter was like this. I had to sleep train her and implement a revised Cry it out method with her becuase she would be so overtired and cranky all the time. What I did was at nap time when I would lay her down I would lay her down awake but sleepy and she would use a pacifier so I would give her that..tell her night night and walk out. Sometimes she would play In her crib and then cry when u didn't come back. I would go in every 5 minutes for as long as it took for her to finally fall asleep and honestly she is the best napper and night time sleeper now.
Stay consistent. Keep with it. It took a solid week of me doing this for her to catch on to the concept and nap time became a breeze after that.
