We just moved into a new house about two weeks ago. Since then, naps have been really hit or miss. Yesterday, she walked up to her bedroom, climbed in bed, and took a two hour nap of her own accord. Most days, though, she fights the nap hard. Everything that works for bedtime does not work for naps and she ends up screaming for 30-45 minutes, at which point we give up, which just reinforces the screaming. The past few days we've just put a movie on and let her have quiet time instead of fighting it, but she's been kind of grumpy. MIL keeps telling me that she knows what she needs and that she'll sleep when she needs it so we shouldn't try to force her to nap, but I really feel like she still needs a nap every day. So do you guys have any experience or tricks?
Re: Do you force a nap every day?
There was one day she just couldn't do it so she got to watch VeggieTales but she had to have her head on a pillow while she was laying on the sofa and she had to be under a blanket.
