If I go into the room she is up and I have no chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214829 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:44:08 +0000 delight 1214829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's been 30 mins then nothing will help, it's just a short nap. If she wakes up before then, I go in and pick her up and sometimes she will fall asleep with rocking. If that doesn't work then I resort to the boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214773 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:59:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1214773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back to sleep is a myth around here. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214751 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:45:27 +0000 Beehive 1214751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way J will continue his nap once he's up is if he falls back asleep on his own. So it depends on why he woke up - if he just randomly woke up or there was a loud noise or something, sometimes he'll fuss a bit and fall back asleep. If there's some other reason (poop, whim), not likely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214735 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:40:12 +0000 immabeetoo 1214735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: nothing ever worked. sorry!! no matter what, if he was up, he was up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214483 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:06:51 +0000 shopaholic 1214483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ahh! she is killing me today! 2nd nap - 32 min.! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214465 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:51:06 +0000 HLK208 1214465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rock her and hum one of her lullabies and it calms her down after about 5 minutes then she's calm enough to place back in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214459 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:48:17 +0000 twoofeverything 1214459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You won't like my answer! If my kids wake up from nap and are just fussy, (not full-on crying), I wait 5-10 minutes to see if they can get themselves back to sleep. If they're screaming or throwing a fit, it's over. I get them up and just hang on for dear life through their normal wake time then try again.<br /> Nap schedules suck. :-( Sorry, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214442 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:41:12 +0000 shopaholic 1214442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: lol! nursing to nap doesn't always work anymore. And now she's started playing with the boob if she's not interested in eating. O_o! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214417 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:23:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 1214417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: hahaha. Smart baby. C will latch then pull off and look at me like- ill do this but you aren't fooling me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214367 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:53:56 +0000 Pepper 1214367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we're in the same boat over here. Stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214365 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:53:18 +0000 emg86 1214365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to figure out the same thing, lol. Nothing I've tried works. I usually give up and offer some boob and she drifts off again...but she recently learned my trick so she's like..."Listen lady, it ain't boob time yet!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214363 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:52:33 +0000 lolabee 1214363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're exact same as @JoJoGirl:. Sometimes he'll transfer if he's only fallen asleep for say 10 mins. Other than than I'm SOL! If anything wakes him nap time is done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214355 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:49:45 +0000 leelee 1214355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wish I knew. DD has been having super short naps lately. Nothing will get her back to sleep :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214318 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:37:39 +0000 shopaholic 1214318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: lol. K is waay too heavy for me to bounce on the ball these days! /but the ball was a lifesaver for a few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214311 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:36:14 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1214311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, can't do anything to get her BACK to sleep. Even five minutes of dozing can ruin it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214310 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:35:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 1214310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes bouncing on the exercise ball worked- like one time out of three. Really frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214304 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:34:18 +0000 shopaholic 1214304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @JoJoGirl: :sad: :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214274 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:22:17 +0000 Smurfette 1214274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: us too! I hate when she falls asleep and we are 10 mins away. I try and keep her up, I poke her and talk to her really loud, so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214263 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:17:57 +0000 JoJoGirl 1214263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah we've never been able to do that. Even if she falls asleep in the car - once she's slept say 15 mins, she's burnt off enough 'sleep pressure' that she won't go back down. Bummer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214242 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:12:37 +0000 Smurfette 1214242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing works for R. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-back-to-nap#post-1214192 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:59:24 +0000 shopaholic 1214192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO wakes up early from a nap, how do you get her/him BACK to sleep? I've spent over half an hour to get her to nap or 25 min., and then another un-successful 20 min. trying to get her back to sleep. She never falls back asleep after waking up from a nap. I need some tips! </p> <p>FWIW - We already do dark room, sound machine, sleep sack, no eye contact. </p>
