I spent a lot of time walking him around in the stroller and driving him around in the car. As long as he got his morning nap in the crib I felt ok about naps elsewhere assisted by movement :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-naps-and-waking-early#post-85281 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:39:02 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 85281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had a horrible time getting Baby Y down for Nap 2. It was such a struggle that now I don't want to do anything productive (like clean, which I should!)</p> <p>Yesterday he went down easily for 2 nice long naps. The day before, he fought Nap 1 like crazy. So, really inconsistent lately. I'm thinking maybe there's some separation anxiety stuff going on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-naps-and-waking-early#post-69201 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:37:30 +0000 banana 69201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO transitioned from 2 naps a day to 1 nap a day at around 10 or 11 months. He would fight fight fight the 2nd nap so we skipped it. We pushed his first nap later in the day (to around 12:00) and he napped 2 hours! Before this, he used to take 2 naps which were usually 1-2 hours long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-naps-and-waking-early#post-69185 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:20:35 +0000 Cchoi4 69185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 10 months old. </p> <p>This past week has been horrendous in terms of his daytime naps. (He is fine falling asleep at night but during the day?) We had a great streak in the past month - 2 naps: both 1-2 hours long. I couldn't believe my luck!</p> <p>BUT this past week, he might go down for his first nap for an hour, but he fights his 2nd nap to no end! He bangs on the wall, pulls himself up in the crib, cries, and simply will not go to sleep. Anyone experience this? I would expect at some point he would get tired and fall asleep just for a little but, but we are going on 50 minutes now of him crying/whining/banging etc. </p> <p>Could this be a phase? He has been drooling recently so perhaps he could be teething. I'm going crazy right now. Should I just leave him in his crib until he falls asleep? I know he's not hungry. </p>
