Nap help....

xp:

Jay's day started at 7 AM. He slept for less than 30min in my car on our way home at 12:30pm. It is now 5:30 and he has not slept a minute more. He is very fussy, cranky, rubbing his eyes tired. I am at a loss I have tried everything. If I leave him in his crib he cries for 5 min then just stands there and makes sad noises. I don't know if I should leave him until he falls asleep or just give up on this nap and try an early bedtime. Not sure if this is a vent because I feel stressed or a plee for someone's idea. But thanks for listening.

I have tried: feeding, rocking, swaddling, cio, laying with him, we went on a walk, carring him around the house....

    JT has had many many days like this. I keep trying for a nap mostly out of frustration but he and I are both happier when I admit defeat and just settle for an early bedtime. He has fallen asleep on those nights between 5:30 and 6pm, and slept til 6 or a little later.

    I give up on nap time after trying for an hour tops. I used to spend a long time trying, but Ferber actually says to give up after an hour and it's made life better. We are both much happier when I admit defeat and sometimes a little bit later she's more ready for a nap. Maybe when the pressure is off?
