She usually puts herself to sleep (she's fussing but not crying as I type this!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-baby-try-to-nap-not-crying#post-978559 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:16:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 978559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let him hangout in the crib. He'll let you know when he's had enough. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-baby-try-to-nap-not-crying#post-978558 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:16:31 +0000 maybebaby 978558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bahaha of course the second I write this he finally falls asleep! Silly baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-baby-try-to-nap-not-crying#post-978548 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:14:53 +0000 mediagirl 978548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! If he's happy, just let him hang out. If he gets tired, he may take a nap on his own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-baby-try-to-nap-not-crying#post-978542 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:12:45 +0000 Bao 978542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is 11 months, so a bit older, but I let her hang out in there for a while if she doesn't sleep, but is happy. I sometimes need her to at least rest if she is going to refuse her nap, so I can get a thing or two done and get some quiet time for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-baby-try-to-nap-not-crying#post-978537 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:10:58 +0000 maybebaby 978537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is nearly 9 weeks old and has gotten to be a pretty good napper. He rarely cries went put down to nap, and we always comfort him before putting him down again. He's now been in his crib for a "nap" for about 20 minutes, but I can see/hear from the monitor that he is not interested in sleeping (despite his earlier yawns). He is cooing and kicking around his legs, but not fussing or cranky. Should I just let him hang out if he is happy? Or should I get him and play with him since he seems to be interested in playing? </p>
