She sleeps like 8-9pm to about 6-7am. I can’t get her to nap during the day. She gets grumpy but I don’t know what to do. I tried letting her sleep with me in my bed, in her playpen, and her crib. I’ve tried keeping the house really quite. She just won’t nap. Does she really need to? Oh she is 9 month old. Any ideas on how to get her to nap?

My baby used to always nap in her crib where she sleeps at night but lately I’ve found it easier to just have her nap on my bed during the day.

Does having your baby nap and sleep in the same place help him/her sleep better? Or does it not matter? I thought I read somewhere that you should nap them the same place they sleep at night so that they associate the crib with sleeping, but I’m not positive.

Thanks.

My son will not nap during the day unless you are holding him. I have tried laying him in his crib already asleep and that lasts about 10-15 minutes. I have tried laying him on our bed, on the couch, and his vibrating chair. I know he needs the nap and he slept 2 1/2 hours yesterday but I had to hold him the whole time. I just can’t get anything done and I don’t want him to get used to it and expect to be held all the time! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

My daughter just turned 2 and all of a sudden won’t fall asleep for a nap any more. She is sleeping better at night with no nap though – she falls asleep earlier and doesn’t wake up 3-4 times a night like she used to.

At six months, did you still follow a three nap routine? Already moved to two naps? Or did it vary from day to day?

What about the length of naps?

I’m just trying to get some ideas as to what other babies my child’s age are doing.

I have this problem where when i get home from school I am super tired and can’t help but fall asleep. So i take a two hour or so nap and wake up and do my homework. The problem is that the nap wakes me up so much that I can’t go to sleep later that night until really late. So the cycle begins and I am once again extremely tired the next day. What should I do? Any expert nappers out there have any ideas or advice?

I heard that when you eat turkey that you get sleepy, because it has some kind of chemical in it that makes you want to sleep. Is this true? Because it’s after lunch, and I had a turkey sandwich, and I’m feelin like a nap!

I have experienced extreme fatigue yesterday and today. I am normally very active, and cannot even keep my eyes open. I took a 2 hr nap in the middle of the afternoon today, so not like me, and now I am ready for bed. I did have intercourse 4x during ovulation, but could this happen this early?

The headache is always right across my forehead feeling. I’m always exhausted when I get home from work, but I feel almost nervous to take a nap.

I use a thin pillow, no feathers. I’ve had allergy testing done. Any other ideas?

My 8 month-old usually wakes around 7, naps in bed with me until about 9:30, then naps again from around 12-4. How do I get him to take a longer nap in the morning and a shorter nap in the afternoon?

I am at my wits end! I need to know how to get to sleep! I am planning on going to the doctor on Monday but I am in tears I am so irritated! For the past few months I haven’t been getting to sleep until at least 3 in the morning sometimes later than that and my daughter wakes me up for the day at 8 am. My partner started a new job and I have to get up at 6 am to take her (so I get maybe 2 hours of sleep before driving 30 mins to take her to work. By time we get home around 7 am I only get like 1-2 more hours of sleep. Sometimes I nap with my daughter but a one hour nap just makes me more tired so I try not to nap during the day in hopes that I will be tired early and actually get sleep. I have been nauseous all day and only eating maybe one small meal a day due to that (i think I may be pregnant) so I think the stress of not knowing if I am pregnant, not eating well, and getting pretty much no sleep.

Is there any way I can get to sleep earlier? I am waiting to go to the doc until monday because I will hopefully find out if I am preggo on Saturday and I don’t wanna get any meds to help if I am pregnant. I am so exhausted, please help me!

I had a very long day yesterday. I got off work at 7 pm yesterday and thought I’d take an hour nap and get up, eat dinner, get on Y!A, but I never got up until 7 am.

After nursing and diapering, my 5 week old will only stay awake for 30 min to an hour before needing to go back down for a nap. He is very alert during that time… it’s just a short amount of time sometimes! How long will your 5 week old go before needing to nap?

My 13 month old is starting to give me a hard time when I put her down for her second nap. I think might just need one long nap per day now. When did this happen with your baby?
