Babies: 9 - 12 Months

She won't nap! Help!

My DD spent 6 days with my parents and my ILs while we were on vacation. MIL loves taking her for a walk in the stroller while she naps during the day, and I think my mom did it once or twice too. Now she won't nap in her crib at home! And she was a decent napper before. I don't want her getting used to the stroller again (she napped in the stroller on the balcony during the winter and when it was still chilly outside). Do I Ferber her naps or just let her skip one if she's not going down for a while?

  • I let my DS skip naps once in a while.  Or I just put him in his crib for some "down time".  He doesn't sleep but he rests/relaxes.  Sometimes it is just not worth the fight!

  • get her back to her routine in the crib asap.  it'll be tough, but stay strong.  i'd mention this to your MIL and mom if they watch her again for an extended period of time.  once in a while isn't a biggie, but when bsby gets used to it - ugh!

    Thanks. I don't think MIL took her out all the time she was there, but still I feel like that's the first thing she does if Sasha doesn't nap, kwim?
