She did when she was younger (like less than 4 months) and it did totally ruin the next nap. But now? NOPE. Even if we leave for a 2 hours drive right when it is nap time. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2084488 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 10:06:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 2084488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happens to us EVERY TIME. we will be in the car for 2 hours and she will fall asleep 5 minutes from home. so frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2084259 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 05:48:09 +0000 Cherrybee 2084259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Same here!! Elliott never slept in the car as a baby! She would scream the entire journey! But now - when it has ramifications - she loves a car nap!! </p> <p>@Anagram: That sounds awful! I hate it when Elliott kicks off in the car. Its so stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2084007 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:57:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2084007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: ugh sorry! That was c for the first five months or so. It sucks. And I remember as if be leaving somewhere and she would be crying, nice, well meaning people would say, Oh she will fall right asleep as soon as you get in the car! And I wanted to punch their nice faces because she wouldn't! </p> <p>But now if we are anywhere near nap time (ie coming home from any morning activity) she is out in less than ten minutes unless I dondrastic measure to keep her up. She usually will transfer to her crib though, lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083963 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:59:17 +0000 Anagram 2083963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be the only mom in the world whose baby hates the car seat so much, she never naps. We are in the car commuting almost 2 hours a day and the few times she has ever napped, I was ecstatic because that meant a break from the constant crying and whining that usually happens in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083918 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:37:22 +0000 Smurfette 2083918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! It stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083910 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:32:03 +0000 Ra 2083910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The worst! I wish there was a video camera in my car to record my ridiculous antics while trying to keep B from falling asleep in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083745 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:00:39 +0000 StrawberryShortie 2083745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Augh! Huge pet peeve for me. Sometimes I sit in the car for fifteen minutes and enjoy the silence :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083744 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:59:32 +0000 Ree723 2083744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is the worst!!!! I hate the car naps with a passion! Two minutes in the car does not equal a nap kid, try again....alas, I always seem to lose that battle. </p> <p>@foodnerd81: hope you managed to get a decent car nap in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083662 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:55:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2083662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is happening right now. Sitting in the parking lot across the street from my building hoping no one comes to park in this spot before she wakes up. </p> <p>@Cherrybee: yes! The tiniest thing can wake her at home yet me yelling and singing is futile. Sigh. </p> <p>@spaniellove: oh man, that's tough! Have you tried opening the window so the cold air keeps him awake? I should have done that this morning. </p> [attach=2307/15/nkakoq.484x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083638 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:36:09 +0000 Ash 2083638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083635 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:34:19 +0000 GreenThumb 2083635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry!! We have the same problem! DD is still RF so I'm always singing at the top of my lungs and trying to get her to sing with me. Luckily it worked on our ride this morning, but is definitely hit-or-miss. When it was warmer weather I'd let her sleep in there for awhile just because I knew she wouldn't nap once in the house. But it is way too cold to do that this time of year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083624 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:28:10 +0000 littlejoy 2083624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We share a driveway with our neighbor ... The other day, she texted to apologize, but she needed to work from her car, ha. Her babe will sleep 5 minutes in the car and be totally set. It's not unusual to see her out there on her laptop! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083601 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:13:35 +0000 Cherrybee 2083601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed! </p> <p>Oh and why, when she's in her cot for a nap/night, does the slightest little noise wake her up but in the car no amount of loud music, windows open, wiggling her leg around and shouting "wake up" will stop her drifting off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083591 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:11:22 +0000 spaniellove 2083591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: It especially sucks here because I have to take LO's hearing aids out so normally he could hear me yelling but without the HAs he can't hear a thing, especially when he's sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083535 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:50:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 2083535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I. Hate. That. With the passion of a thousand fiery suns!</p> <p>Now that she's FF it's easier because I can yell, sing, etc. Although it failed horribly Christmas Day, lol. Perfect day to have nap go off the rails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-3#post-2083532 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:49:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2083532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why does falling asleep in the car for two minutes mean no nap for the day?!? I didn't even see her fall asleep on our ten minute drive home today, but I sure know she did, based on the refusing to nap right now. It's going to be such a long afternoon. </p> <p>I wish I could get a second wind like that from two minutes of sleep. </p>
