My. God. Preach sister friend! </p> <p>W is 16 months and we're transitioning to one nap and it makes me want to PUNCH THINGS! </p> <p>For a while I was trying to force the afternoon nap but I would sirens spend 45 minutes putting him down for him to sleep for ahalf hour. With just one nap he's going to bed a little earlier but WAKING UP EARLIER TOO! And my sweet baby who used to be so cheerful in the morning is now cranky and horrible because he's still tired! </p> <p>This transition is making me CRAZY! And being a SAHM who's 15 weeks pregnant with a toddler who is cranky 24/7 is making me miserable. I'm SO tired by the end of the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-effing-hate-one-nap#post-985497 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 15:28:20 +0000 rachiecakes 985497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has never been a sleeper (I'm awful at naps myself and am not the type to sleep-in, so I know where he gets it from...). He went to one nap around his first birthday.<br /> On good days we'll get a nice 2-3 hour afternoon nap. On bad days, he's whiney all morning, finally takes a nap in the late afternoon (um, 3:30/4pm) and then wants to party all night/fights bedtime. This was today. I got a text from DH that he finally took a nap at 3:45pm after having a crab-fest this morning. DH has to work tonight, so I know I'm going to have my hands full! At least it's Friday, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-effing-hate-one-nap#post-985493 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 15:27:06 +0000 Freckles 985493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you try pushing his morning nap and make it a short nap? And then maybe he'll be tired for this afternoon nap?</p> <p>If it's not working, i would try going back to 2 naps and just pushing the times back a bit. </p> <p>Sorry that things have been rough. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-effing-hate-one-nap#post-985485 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 15:24:08 +0000 winniebee 985485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One nap is not working. T is 14.5 months and I've been trying for 2 weeks. Granted we have been traveling and have moved and it's been chaotic. He seems to be sleeping a little longer at night, but his naps suck! 1.5 hours most days. I try putting him down earlier and later and the most he'll do is 2 hours but still wakes up unhappy. He doesn't act tired at all in the morning - today he woke at 6:45 and I started the nap process at 12, he was in bed at 12:20 and fell asleep at 12:45. At 2:15 woke up crying. </p> <p>He is nasty all afternoon and I can't wait until bedtime! It is making life as a SAHM not that much fun with a cranky kid all the time. </p> <p>I switched to 1 because he has been fighting the afternoon nap like mad since 13 months. As in he won't fall asleep at all. Or will sleep 30 minutes and wake up screaming and nasty. I can't decide which is worse.</p> <p>He used to take a 1.5 hour morning nap and a 1 hour afternoon nap. Should I go back to 2 naps again? Give it more time? Woe is me. </p>
