I know I haven't been active here for awhile, but I would really appreciate some advice.

Last week, my 11 month old started cutting a couple of teeth and stopped napping in his crib. I think it was a combination of not feeling well and not being able to breathe because his nose was so stuffy. (Previously, he was putting himself to sleep for naps, after I read him a story and sang a song). It's been one week since he's napped in his crib. I've worn him for all naps. Which was fine because I had the week off (I'm a nanny for a 9 month old, as well). But the other little girl is back this week, and he won't sleep in the Ergo while she's playing, and I can't put her down for naps with him on my back because he's too heavy (she only sleeps for, like, 30 minutes). Not to mention, if she falls (happens all the time), and wants to be picked up (while crying, of course), I can't really pick her up with a 25 lb baby on my back. Or she wakes him up with the crying. Or, she poops (happened just now), and I can't change her because of said 25 lb baby on my back.

I feel so frustrated, and I don't know what to do to get my LO to nap on his own again! I've tried nursing him, rocking him, holding him, singing to him, lying next to him. He refuses. I've tried letting him cry for 5 minutes or so, but that's all I'm willing to do, CIO-wise.

I know this probably seems really dramatic, but I really feel like I'm going crazy. Please, please, help me.
