Just take a nap!

Starfish+77

DD is 16 weeks and has that stupid 45 minute intruder so bad during naps!  I have seriously been upstairs 6 different times trying to first get her to sleep, then back to sleep when she woke.  So frustrating! I have no time to myself during the day! I would be fine with a short nap if she woke rested, but when she wakes after 45 minutes she is angry and fussier than before the nap.  When does this go away!? She's been on a nap routine for a few weeks now and same thing every day.  UGGHH! Just needed to vent.  Does anyone have any success stories to share of short naps finally becoming long?

 I'm going through the same thing.  It gets better once their sleep cycles get longer and they learn to self soothe. I can't freaking wai

DS turns 20w tomorrow and he was like your DD at her age.  In fact, he was only taking 20min (or 30 min if I'm lucky) naps, so he was tired and cranky all day long.  I resorted to taking him out for a ride and let him finish his nap in the ca
