I really dread nap time.

Sigh, just spent 25 minutes trying to get Ari to sleep. I finally gave up and just put him in his crib and walked downstairs. My blood pressure was going through the roof.

I just don't understand why every nap, besides his first one, is so hard. He goes down almost 2 hours after his last wake up so I know he is tired. He falls asleep just fine but always wakes when I put him down.

I know I know, I need to sleep train him for naps...

Ugh/end vent.

Just wanted to say you're not alone! We have the exact same problem and she's also a crappy sleeper at night. I've been reading up on different sleep training methods and coming up with my POA. Right now she's napping in my arms...

Yay! Let's commiserate!

I am super tempted to just wait until he starts daycare in 5 weeks... but then I don't think he or I will survive 5 weeks without consistent naps.

I will be picking up the sleep easy solution today but am really anxious to start.

Swing naps save us. We're working on transitioning from the swing to crib for naps (which is taking some daytime sleep training) but when I really need him to sleep solidly, I can rely on the swing in his room with white noise.

Haha! I'm a SAHM do there is no end in sight. She never sleeps soundly. Ever. I just ordered HSHHC and the No Cry Sleep Solution. Naps suck!!

Naps are really hard for DD when she's with me. With her sitters she does great! So over the weekends DD gets extremely tired because she hardly naps. She's always a great night sleeper though regardless.

When I do get her to nap it is in her swing, or on me, about 45-60 min per nap, maybe once or twice a day.
