Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Finally asleep!

DS finally fell asleep after playing in his crib for 30-45 min. He would get quiet for a few minutes then babble. I know he was ready for his nap- we was doing the head bob in the car.

Has your LO ever done this? How long is too long to leave him in there? (He wasn't crying- just babbling and playing with his lovey.)

Re: Finally asleep!

  • Nap time is nap time, even if DS doesn't want to sleep.  Sometimes, if he (rarely) falls asleep in the car, he will be too refreshed to take a nap - I still put him in his crib for quiet time and he hangs out, sucking his thumb and cuddling with his lovey.

    I think it's fine to leave your kid be if they are quiet and not crying.

  • DD played in her crib for about an hour today before falling asleep.  She then slept for almost 2 hrs.   She tends to do this a lot more lately.  She's quiet and not crying, so we just let her play until she falls asleep.

  • she plays a lot and sometimes if she is overtired, she cries for a few minutes too:( but usually she plays for about 20 min and then falls asleep for 1.5 hour and plays in her crib for another 30 min
