And it never works. He stands in the crib and laughs at me! Our bed is next to the crib though, so at least I get to lie down for ten minutes while I'm "putting him to bed". blackbird on "do you ever put your LO down early for nap/rest because you need a break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-down-early-for-naprest-because-you-need-a-break#post-2062148 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:37:16 +0000 blackbird 2062148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh yeah. Usually it's because she's being a PITA and is over tired anyways, so putting her down early usually works well for us :) regberadaisy on "do you ever put your LO down early for nap/rest because you need a break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-down-early-for-naprest-because-you-need-a-break#post-2062147 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:37:09 +0000 regberadaisy 2062147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH does. :silly: I do when I'm solo parenting because baby sister needs to go down. ETA oh wait this is nap. Nope, if it hasn't been 6 hours since wake up she will not nap and freak out. twodoghouse on "do you ever put your LO down early for nap/rest because you need a break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-down-early-for-naprest-because-you-need-a-break#post-2062144 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:35:10 +0000 twodoghouse 2062144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Good luck! Blake woke up late and I'm hoping to leave at 9 to work out, so I put him down early. I can hear him rolling around and grumbling on the monitor, so it's not really working. But he's not crying, so it's a little bit of a win? Alice got up at 5:15 so it was no problem to put her down with plenty of time to sleep before we leave at 9! sorrycharlie on "do you ever put your LO down early for nap/rest because you need a break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-put-your-lo-down-early-for-naprest-because-you-need-a-break#post-2062127 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:27:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 2062127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ my toddler still takes a 2 hour nap if I time it right. she was up way early this morning, though, and we have to leave this afternoon for an appt during her usual nap so I'm going to try early. I'm exhausted and looking forward to a little break :P
