Lately my son has been HORRIBLE at nap time . He’s been on a set napping schedule since June . Lately it takes me over an hour to get him down. And that’s with 30+ mins of screaming literally blooding murder and me having to hold him. He’s tired when I start putting him down. But he’s like refusing . He just wants to play, watch his show , be w his dad etc . Any tips for this ? Anyone go through this ?

@boymama523, the doctor said at his last appointment when his lips were raw that it’s normal with paci babies . We didn’t take it til about 18 months old
@briannalynn547, good to know. I hope it gets better for you guys. Sometimes a little crying will go a long way and (if he can stop picking or not hurt himself) he’ll learn to self soothe. Does he like stuffed animals or teethers to chew on?
@boymama523, he likes stuffed animals to a point of play. Like he treats them like baby’s but they don’t really help him at bed time . I’ve tried to dedicate certain ones just to bed time and be like hold your teddy but it only lasts a few mins . Never has been into teethers much
Can you put him down about 15-20 min earlier? He may be overtired and that always makes my son more likely to fight going to sleep.
I’ve tried a bit earlier and a bit later . The result stays the same lol
I would do quiet time an hour leading up to nap. Quiet books, quiet toys. No tv, no electronics etc and see if that winds him down enough to not fight it.
That’s a good idea ! We always do story time before naps and bedtime . It works at bed time . When it’s over I let him go through it himself then he says all done and just lays on his pillow . Nap time , not so much 🤣
@briannalynn547, he’s a stinker. I would try the quiet time.
@whereswaldo, def gonna give that a try tomorrow! Thank you !!!
Just keep pushing through and it will pass. If he’s going down at daycare with no problem then he still needs his nap. My son has gone through phases of being difficult at nap time.
It’s like he has to make the biggest deal 😭🤣 at daycare I think he notices oh everyone else is so I have to do it too.. but home he’s like hey I’m the only one here let me run shit 🤦🏻♀️😭🤣
@briannalynn547, Yep, he’s testing boundaries! Stick to it and he’ll learn that you’re not going to budge. It’s no fun but it’ll be worth it in the end. Good luck!
My daughter is this way at bed time and when she wakes up in the middle of the night . I have no tips. It just to say I feel you I’m living it also
Maybe he’s ready to drop that particular nap? After 2 years old my son would only nap every few days
He only naps once a day, if he doesn’t take it at the time I have him, he passes out around 4-5 then won’t go to bed. He’s also in day care and required to take a nap there daily with the other kids . He doesn’t give them a problem, only me 😭 and when he gets off of the schedule we noticed a HUGE change in his mood , behavior , and even like health in a way. He’ll refuse to eat the rest of the day etc
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Avoid any sugar with lunch, juice fruit etc. Offer filling things with veggies and milk. And I agree with a mom above about quieting down an hour before nap time. Can you be strict and just say we’ll read two books then cuddle and sing two songs then in your bed you go. That’s what we had to do with my son and after 2-3 days he stopped crying and it sometimes takes him awhile (30 mins) to fall asleep but he does without whining and crying bc he knows I won’t rock him forever.
