Advice: 🙋🏽♀️The last 4 days my LO haven’t been taking naps. He will say sleep and I will take him upstairs wipe him off change him get his sleep sack on and feed him and rock him and he will be dead sleep and by the time I go lay him down his eyes are wide open and when I walk out the room I see him on the camera rolling around and screaming. He’s normally been good about naps and I don’t know what to do. Should I stop laying him down for naps ?
I am so thankful about my son being a great night time sleeper !! That definitely is most important to me because I want to sleep at night lol. He’s been napping again now with advice from some of the other moms. It wouldn’t be bad about naps if I had breaks but I don’t it’s me 24/7.

That's one of the great times having my kids spaced apart as much as I do. My 8 year old was such a huge help when her sister was little!
@raisinglittlegamers, haha yes same here ! I was adamant about having my kids spaced out because I was like I refuse to get up with mom than one kid at night lol 😂 aww isn’t it amazing how much they help out !? My oldest is always wanting to help me and is really like a extra pair of hands for me.
No, IMO he still should nap. Maybe try without the sleep sack and lay him down before he’s all the way asleep. My LO went through a sleep regression around 18months that lasted a couple weeks, I would still keep her on her schedule and just let her lay in her bed even if she didn’t sleep, so she could rest a bit but she went back to her normal sleep schedule. We still do one nap mid morning for about an 1hr and one in the afternoon for 1-2hrs and she sleeps all night from 8pm-7am.
Ok I will keep doing his routine without the sleep sack. It’s been frustrating for me because nap time is the only time I get to do stuff and relax. Hopefully that helps. 2 weeks !? Oh no I hope this isn’t the case for us. He’s a great night sleeper but naps have been hard.
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...
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. Every time I lay the baby down he wakes up after like 10 minutes. 😴
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 ?
So my doctor says I have to start putting the baby in his crib at night and letting him cry it out when he wakes for a bottle. She says he should be sleeping 10-12 hours at a time by now (he only sleeps about 2-3 hours before he wakes wanting a bottle or pacifier). She swears if we do this it won't take more than 3 nights for him to adjust and start sleeping better. She says that he should only get 1-2 naps a day too and we should lay him down at night as soon as he starts showing signs of being...
Sleep Training !
So I went ahead and hired the sleep consultant. I was at a loss with how poor Davis's sleep was, and because I was suffering from PPD, the sleep deprivation was making me not be able to cope with daily life. Davis had no idea how to put himself to sleep whatsoever.. I would nurse him to sleep and then rock him and then carefully put him down in his crib fast asleep. If he woke up when I put him down I would have to repeat the process.. Sometimes it took 2 hours to get him back...
Unfortunately both my kids stopped napping right around that time but they also slept 12+ hours at night.
So I'm going to be the odd ball here and say he doesn't HAVE to have a nap.
