will not nap

christinasullie37

My lo will not nap. I watch her cues but she never seems to tire. When she does she just screams in the crib. I dont want her sleeping in the swing anymore as she is getting too big for it. I dont really want to buy another book either. Any suggestions? I have tried every thing and frustrated. Fortunately she goes to bed just fine and sleeps for 1012 houes straight.

i wish i knew what to tell you but im in the same boat, my lo only takes about a 15 minute nap only if im holding her every few hours and like yours if i put her in her crib she just screams

my LO would only fall asleep if we held her and bounced on a yoga ball. She was going to day care so I had to break her of it. It took an entire week of her screaming and crying for 5 minutes at every nap, but she finally let me put her down with no problems using the shushpat method in the baby whisperer book. I shushpat her while holding her, wait for two big sighs and then put her down. Now, she doesn't fuss at all. I found the winddown period to be key. Good luck! The one week of crying was worth it!

I actually have that book.  I guess I should finish reading it.

Can you tell me what the shushpat involves?
