But not the baby - once the car stops he wakes up soon after!</p> <p>I have wasted so much gas driving him around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957850 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:24:52 +0000 dolphin 1957850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: Ugh I know! Sometimes I just wished she would nap at home so I can RELAX. Driving around all the time in exhausting! And I can never do the car to house transfer successfully. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957775 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:38:04 +0000 ALV91711 1957775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: Whatever works to get the most sleep. If he is having a rough night I just take him into the guest room. That way if he does wake up more at least I don't have to get up. I'm hoping one day he'll STTN on his own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957686 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:58:02 +0000 Mamasig 1957686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: The only way we can get DS1 to take a nap is with a car ride and he's 26 months. He started daycare about two months ago and takes a nap there. WTH? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957476 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:27:33 +0000 Applesandbananas 1957476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: he sleeps great at daycare too! He actually will almost STTN if I stay in there all night. So most of the time, I just sleep in there lol. He's on a floor bed in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957470 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:22:51 +0000 looch 1957470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I could write a book about the things I have done over the last 4 years to get my son to fall asleep or stay asleep. Do what works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957468 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:21:18 +0000 ALV91711 1957468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: Our boys sound so much the same. We still do these three things at 20 months. </p> <p>Also, most naps on weekends I lay down with him in our bed or he won't stay asleep. He naps fine at daycare though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957438 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:55:13 +0000 IcebergMom 1957438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No confession needed! I love car naps! My only confession is sometimes were parked in driveway and I run in and out of the house doing small errands while she naps! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957370 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 03:06:30 +0000 gracecat 1957370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still rocking to sleep at 22 mths although today at nap time she pointed to her crib and asked to be put down right away!!!! Score! But still rocking and patting her back at night. We swaddled until 16 mths.... Don't give urself such a hard time just do what u gotta do to keep yourself sane... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1957190 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 21:33:27 +0000 fairy 1957190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still nurse to sleep every time at 18 months. Works for us but some people look at me like I'm crazy when they find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956969 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:16:29 +0000 skibobrown 1956969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rocked my daughter to sleep for each and every one of her naps until she was something like 20 months old. ...and now she's 2 1/2 and back to refusing naps. I think it's safe to say I'll never get the nap thing down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956929 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:17:37 +0000 dolphin 1956929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I agree! Thank goodness for daycare, in our case it's grandma-care. I don't know how my mom does it but DD always goes down without a fight and sleeps for 2 hours. On weekends with me she almost ALWAYS fights nap! I admit it's my fault since I never nap trained her and on weekends we're usually on the go so she's use to sleeping in the car. DH is stuck in the car with her right now waiting out a nap. It's been 1.5 hours. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956913 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:57:59 +0000 Applesandbananas 1956913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still nurse my 20 month old to sleep every night and all naps on the weekends AND he wakes in the MOTN to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956904 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:47:31 +0000 Corduroy 1956904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a nap failure as well. I end up holding her half the time and she's almost two. Thank goodness for daycare five days a week. We're in the car in front of our house now waiting out a nap. Hangs head in shame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956902 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:46:48 +0000 Ra 1956902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still rock to sleep at 17 months. A few times a week he still naps on me. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956870 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 15:57:21 +0000 Cherrybee 1956870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 16 months and most nights she will wake and only go back to sleep if I give her some milk. From a bottle. Yes, my toddler still has night feeds! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-confession#post-1956863 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 15:50:04 +0000 dolphin 1956863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 23 months and sometimes when I can't get her to nap I'll take her for a drive. She almost always falls asleep immediately and I wait in the car with her until she gets up. I can't believe she's almost two and I still haven't gotten this nap thing down. Mom fail. Anything you can't believe you're still doing? </p>
