I almost posted on Facebook today:<br /> Toddler for sale: like ranch dressing &amp; puppies. Dislikes naps.</p> <p>Three hours today. Finally went down at 3:30.</p> <p>I refuse to wave the white flag. Kid was tired &amp; I had stuff to do. Snuggles, bribes &amp; more bribes usually so the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034801 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 17:05:25 +0000 Freckles 1034801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's amazing! Maybe he just needs to be super tired to go down for a nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034793 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:56:49 +0000 winniebee 1034793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's now 4 and he is still sleeping. A nap over 2 hours is unheard of lately!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034741 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:21:32 +0000 winniebee 1034741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: he just went from 2-1 -- he was super tired and I had to torture him to keep him Awake in the car at noon!! He better not be trying to drop them altogether!</p> <p>@Sammyfab: he's getting a molar too which I think might be impacting naps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034698 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:05:58 +0000 Sammyfab 1034698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for sleep!</p> <p>That's why i set a 2-hr time limit. For us, if I took my LO out after an hour it would be game over for any kind of nap. He's a special kid though :happy: .</p> <p>Also, I don't think this is a sign that he's ready to drop his nap..I think he's just testing his limits...and there's probably some major development going on too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034688 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:02:17 +0000 skibobrown 1034688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eventually started pushing DD's naptime later, once she started refusing naps at her old time. My normal fallback though, if she's really not napping, is to take her on a walk in her stroller. If she's tired, she'll conk out. She still can't resist motion for putting her to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034678 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:55:13 +0000 rachiecakes 1034678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I usually let J squawk for an hour before deciding that he's not napping.<br /> There have been days where he gets up at 7am and doesn't nap until 3pm. And you know by then, he naps until 5/5:30 as I'm getting home from work and making dinner but I still put him in bed at 8:30/9 and let him play/talk to himself before he actually goes to bed.<br /> I think toddlers are all about pushing limits and seeing what they can get away with :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034659 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:47:50 +0000 Freckles 1034659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for sleeping!! Poor you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034596 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:26:42 +0000 Lindsay05 1034596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is some patience waiting out that nap! Once LO stands up crying then I throw in the towel. Is it possible he is transitioning to no naps already, or even later nap? Did he show cues that he was tired? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034582 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:22:05 +0000 littlek 1034582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully he stays asleep for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034556 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:14:07 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1034556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yay!

DD does this every now and then and it drives me nuts. I will usually take her out and let her run around for a little before trying again 30 min later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034489 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:49:13 +0000 winniebee 1034489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1:45 asleep.

I usually wait an hour if I'm feeling well, longer if I have a migraine. She is always happy in there and will just sit there and play and talk to herself, so I don't feel too bad when I have to leave her in a bit longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034457 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:39:39 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1034457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that he isn't sleeping. I usually have her stay in there for 1.5-2 hours even if she isn't napping. At least she is having quiet time. Her naps usually last that long though. I do check on her since she has a tendency to go to the bathroom during that time. Good luck! So frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034455 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:38:44 +0000 Sammyfab 1034455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd leave him in there for 2 hours :happy: . Are there any signs he may be getting tired? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034449 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:38:02 +0000 winniebee 1034449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: lucky - he won't let me rock him :(</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: if he's not asleep by 2, I guess we will go that route. Or jogging stroller. But it's sooo hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034446 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:37:16 +0000 pelikila 1034446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes rocking to sleep is still necessary. Within about 30 minutes if C hasn't fallen asleep, I will go rock him his down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034442 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:36:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1034442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When this happens I shoot for a car nap. I throw her in the car and we go for a drive. :) she always falls asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034439 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:36:21 +0000 Mrsbells 1034439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is the worst with naps, she is 16 months old and often refuses to nap unless I put her in the ergo carrier and go for a walk with her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-toddlers#post-1034434 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:34:42 +0000 winniebee 1034434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you throw in the towel and proclaim that a nap is not happening? </p> <p>My son has been in his crib since 12:30. It's 1:35. He's not napping. He jabbered for a bit. Then cried. Then kicked his crib slats. Then cried more. Now jabbering again. He's been up since 6:35. He's 15 months old, not 4 years old. WTF? </p>
