I haven't asked but I will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076998 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:42:12 +0000 banana 1076998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Really? Daycare won't be allowed to give it to her? Our daycare allows it and it's been a huge help in the transition process. I would keep trying (at home). It took my DD 2 weeks to really get into her lovey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076993 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:40:16 +0000 Smurfette 1076993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: A&amp;A security blanket. I will keep trying. I think part of it will be day care won't be allowed to give it to her so maybe it is better she doesn't like one. I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076967 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:33:07 +0000 banana 1076967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: It didn't really work at first for me either. I'd put it near her and she would ignore it or push it away. But every time she slept (bed time, nap time) I just held it near me while I rocked her. And brought it with me when we went out (stroller naps). After maybe 2 weeks or so, she started reaching for it and they're inseparable now. What kind of lovey are you giving her? Some babies aren't into stuffed animals and prefer more of a blanket-type of lovey. I tried the angel dear lovey but she wasn't that interested in it. So I changed it to the Aden security blanket and she really got attached to that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076938 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:26:45 +0000 Smurfette 1076938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: How did you intruce it? I keep trying to get R to play with her, put it by her to when nursing and nothing works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076866 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:07:03 +0000 ALV91711 1076866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: He doesn't have a lovey yet. I will have to give that a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076787 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:46:41 +0000 banana 1076787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you introduced a lovey yet? My DD was resistant to naps until I introduced a lovey. I started out by having her sleep with it at night. And then I would have it in her crib for her naps. Eventually she associated the lovey with sleep so I can lay her down in her crib, hand her the lovey, and she'll fall asleep. I haven't nap trained so I don't have advice on that. The lovey was a huge help for me though. We used the Aden + Anais security blankets as her lovey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/helpmy-baby-wont-nap#post-1076708 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:26:42 +0000 ALV91711 1076708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem getting Isaac to bed at night. He will settle in and go to sleep at night.</p> <p>In the day for naps is a whole other story. He will be drowsy or asleep and I put him in his crib and he just wakes right up. Then there is no hope of rocking him or anything. Then we end up with a cranky baby. He will sleep if I just hold him, but I can't do this forever, he is almost 6 months.</p> <p>Help, advice? Am I going to have to nap train? </p>
