I gave DD a small lovey to try and encourage her to nap in her crib a few weeks ago and it was like magic. I only give it to her for naps since she doesn't have trouble falling asleep at night and once she gets it she knows it's nap time and snuggles up with it and falls asleep. It's awesome! Glad to hear he's finally asleep. Those "no nap" days can be stressful.
After a crap night of sleep last night, he has taken two two-hour naps on the crib today. OMG. He is now fighting a third nap, but is yawning and rubbing his eyes so we're rocking and we'll see if he drifts off.
