Just wanted to post an a-ha! moment. My daughter was just like DS2 in the napping department, and all these years, I've been saying - why didn't Tracy write about babies like mine? Why didn't she write about the babies who lie down calm and then start crying later, never having fallen asleep. Well, I just went back to my much read and underlined BWSAYP, and it finally jumped out at me on page 186! in the shush-pat section (of course). I probably had a block in my brain because I hated doing shush-pat so much with DD lol
So anyway, that section is now underlined about how you have to shush-pat those infants who wake up when you lie them down even though they were just almost asleep, and who lie awake for a long time.
I will keep you posted as to how DS2 does with this nap. I will admit that I swaddled him and put him in his car seat for this nap. However, he didn't fall asleep for a good 20 minutes, so bit the bullet, took him out and shush-patted him up the stairs to his crib, and shush-patted till he fell asleep. Wish us luck!!!!
