What?! So my mom brought her out into the living room to play for a while. Thankfully she went back to sleep, but seriously?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-vent-mil-refuses-to-let-ds-put-himself-to-sleep#post-378454 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 07:42:51 +0000 Weagle 378454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom will do this, except LO rarely puts herself to sleep. She will rock DD in the living room with the TV while having a conversation... hardly conducive to sleep. Then she'll say DD just isn't ready for a nap... so frustrating sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-vent-mil-refuses-to-let-ds-put-himself-to-sleep#post-378289 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:41:29 +0000 mrstilly 378289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's not much I can do when I'm not there, but it is so frustrating to me that my MIL refuses to just put DS in his crib and let him fall asleep, like he does for every other nap and bedtime. She will hold him or sit with him in a chair, but if he doesn't fall asleep (especially for naps) she won't make him nap then! She brings him back out of his room because "he's not ready to sleep yet." Ugh! She drives me mad sometimes. </p>
