naps - yes or no? EASY

christmasdust

dd slep from 9:30pm  to 6:45 am. She ate, then napped for 1/2 hour. I just saw 2 yawns(9:30 am) but she does not seem tired @ all. Would you pur her down anyway? I am trying to follow the EASY method but I think she is just one of those wakeful babies & when I try to put her down for a nap when she fights it the whole time. What would you do?

I would try becuase I learned that if I put my ds down at the first signs of tiredness he didn't fight as hard and I could lay him down half awake and he would put himself to sleep. Good luck. I follow (more or less) the easy program and it seems to be working. Usually!

When we first started EASY it seemed like Ike was ALWAYS going to sleep, but he quickly put himself on a 3 hour schedule.  In the beginning he was awake maybe 45 minutes at a time (including feeding), but now he is awake for 2 hours and sleeps 2 hours (obviously hw has switched to a 4 hour schedule).  I also agree with pp, when i saw Ike yawn i would make a point of changing his diaper and putting him in the crib, sometimes he would talk to himself for maybe 5 minutes and then fall asleep, but if i tried to wait even 15 minutes, he was very cranky and i had missed my window of opportunity, lol.  GL
