LO's sleep got way better at 5.5 months so hopefully there is an end in sight. it was best for us if we stopped fighting and left in the car or stroller for a while (even though he still didn't usually nap). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-nap#post-1452074 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:03:53 +0000 twoofeverything 1452074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nap trained at 4 months but still occasionally got to that "end of the rope" stage. That's when I instituted "snuggle naps"...we'd curl up together on the couch and give each other a break :-) It actually became our Friday afternoon tradition, because I was usually so DONE by that point. Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-nap#post-1451967 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:31:51 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1451967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave in today and have been sitting in the glider for the last 3 hrs with LO on my lap. :sad: </p> <p>Sorry, not much help, just know you are not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-nap#post-1451956 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:27:57 +0000 RubyCali 1451956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will she sleep in a carrier? At that age if my baby wouldn't nap and was overtired I would put her in the Ergo and go on a nice long walk. Sometimes it was the only way to calm her down enough to sleep. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wont-nap#post-1451933 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:11:58 +0000 abbylyn 1451933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at the end of my rope. I've spent the last 2.5 hours trying to get my 4.5 month old to go down for a nap (that's probably only going to last 30 minutes). Every time I put her down, she wakes up, and she's not falling asleep on her own yet. She's fought me on every nap and bedtime all week, and some of her night wakings as well. I've tried leaving her to cry for 5-10 minutes, but that's not doing anything either. Mamas, I need help. Please give me advice. </p>
