Bed/nap Time Woes

TJ1979 · August 2014

E goes down easily for both the nanny and for mh. But for some reason, every time I am the one putting her down, she screams and cries. I'm doing the routine just like always, and just like the nanny and mh do it.

@pb_bride‌ I know you had a similar issue. Did you figure it out?

Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Sorry you're having this problem! Toddlers are just a weird creature, aren't they? No reasoning at all.

The most recent time I had to put M down at bedtime, he miraculously did well! It was the first time it went smoothly. He even said "bye bye" to me. I didn't do anything different, just the same nap routine I do day in, day out. I don't know what changed. That was almost 2 months ago so things may be different next time I have to put him down at night.

FWIW, I was ready to "hunker down" with him, meaning, I was planning to just sit by his crib and stay in his room until he was asleep. That was what I had to do in the past.

Hopefully it's just a phase for E - maybe she's just more clingy to you now that she doesn't get 100% of your attention all.the.time.
