Need naptime help

cmcmillan

Mason has decided he doesn't want/need naps, but he is very wrong.  Some days I can get him to nap with me, bad habit I know.  But other days he won't, but will be a mess and trying to fall asleep around dinner (5-6). 

Any great ways to get a toddler to nap, preferably in his own bed.

Thanks.

This was about the time that Alex lost his nap - around this time we told him he had to at least "have a rest" - he either played in his bed or kept his toys and books with him.  Sometimes he'd fall asleep - most of the time he didn't

but he "rested" for another year.  Hope that helps

Oh my gosh, that's too soon for Mason to stop taking naps!  I'd also just put him in his room for quiet time. If he naps great, if not he has to be quiet - read or play ON his bed.  Daycare does this and she says 75% of the time, they all nap.
