I noticed that once I started getting my LO right before he started whining, he stopped doing it. He only cries/whines if he wakes up too early from his nap and can't seem to fall back asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71430 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:53:04 +0000 Rubies 71430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up getting her RIGHT before she started whining. I think I surprised her. The look on her face was like, "Oh, you were SO close to getting a piece of my mind. I love you!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71370 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:37:37 +0000 chopsuey 71370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If LO is happy we'll let her play for a little bit (3 mins tops) and then get her. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71356 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:31:30 +0000 banana 71356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go get him right away. I'll just enter the room with a happy smile and say "Yay! You're in a happy mood! Hi!" and then pick him up. I was afraid that if I waited until he was whiny, he might start thinking that he has to whine for me to go get him, which would be a bad habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71330 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:15:58 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 71330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm listening to him babble away right now after his afternoon nap. SO CUTE. He wasn't a big babbler until recently, so I love listening to the "ooooooh bahbabababaBAHba" and the "mmmm mmmmma." Hee her!</p> <p>Annnnnd there's the whine. My 15 minute grace period is up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71169 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:46:02 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 71169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually let him go 15 or 20 minutes, or until he gets whiny -- whichever comes first :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71127 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:25:54 +0000 BoogieBea 71127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll wait before getting her. The babbling is super cute. I'll usually get her when the babble turns into a calling out for someone sound and before it turns into a whine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71126 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:25:47 +0000 BabyLove 71126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same. If she's able to entertain herself in her crib, so be it! I have been trying to allow more solo play time so she's able to do it when I need to get stuff done around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71121 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:21:23 +0000 Andrea 71121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has never happened. My LO always cries as soon as she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71100 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:09:08 +0000 calsmom 71100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The infant that I nanny is on a sleep schedule, so after 2 hours I go up and get him. If he wakes up before that, I leave him in there until it is time to get him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71099 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:08:15 +0000 heffalump 71099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. If I'm doing something ill try to finish, but if I'm just sitting there watching tv ill go get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71095 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:04:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 71095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would depend on how I was feeling, or if I was in the middle of something. For the most part I let him be for about 15 minutes because he usually needs cooldown time anyway. If you go in right away he actually starts to cry even if he was fine by himself. He gets overwhelmed, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71094 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:03:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 71094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just go get them. charlie is usually cranky because we usually wake him up from his nap (after 3 hours.. sometimes longer!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-lo-wakes-up-from-a-nap-and-is-happy#post-71092 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:03:01 +0000 Rubies 71092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...When do you go get them?</p> <p>LO just woke up from a 2-hour nap and I can hear her babbling and playing by herself. I usually wait until she starts whining before I go rescue her. Is this what everyone does? Or, do I go get her while she's happy and content? </p>
