HELP! Napping issues

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Bri has usually been a good napper until lately. For the past 3 weeks I can't lay her down for a nap unless I lay next to her on my bed. She freaks out if I put her in the crib for  a nap but is completely fine with it at night.

So now, I lay here on my bed with a half asleep child who just holds on to my arm. 

Anyone else have a super clingy baby? If i'm not holding her and she sees me, she cries. If I just set her down to play with toys she will turn and look to make sure I'm still there every few seconds. 

I have baby carriers but she will just have a meltdown if she's overly tired and not laying down somewhere quiet.

    J has always been a horrible napper.  He usually doesn't nap unless I nurse him down.

    I have the opposite issue. Quinn is fine during naps but needs to sleep with me at night. Sigh... These babies!

    Seperation anxiety has hit us HARD this week! She will only sleep during the day if I hold her in the rocking chair...she can be completly passed out on me and the minute I put her in the crib she is WIDE awake!

    I also cant leave the room when shes playing...she even starts crying the minute I put her down (she will stop as soon as she realizes Im going to sit with her)

    sorry im not more help...just wanted to tell you youre not alone!!

    I know this is a touchy subject, but can you put lo in crib and cio for just a bit?  I had similar issues with naps until a tried this (was always opposed), and my lo is now a superstar.  I allowed crying for 15minutes to start (I was a wreck).  Now, if he cries, it is for two minutes or so.  I guess you have probably heard this before, but, it worked for us.
