My LO is 20 months and has actually been napping well these days. We are still getting 5:30 wake ups despite any routine tweaking. But I am hoping once these teeth come in, I can work on that. My latest issue is that he can't nap in his crib every day due to work being done on our house. Somedays I have to go to my mom's and sometimes my in-laws house. When we go to my mom's, he just parties in the pack n play for a long time, gets sick of it, cries to get out, and that is it. I don't get why he isn't eventually falling asleep. I have his fan, his lovey, do the same wind down, etc. and he just doesn't sleep. The second dilemma is that when this happens, I can't always do a really early bedtime. So he will wake at 5:30, be up all day long, and then not go to bed until 6:30/7. Obviously, this is a problem. But for the next several weeks, this is how it is going to be.
At my in-laws house, they have a crib. But it is still no better. He cried and cried last time I put him down there and when he stopped crying, he still didn't sleep.
Any tips on making this stubborn LO sleep in places other than his own crib? When we are home, this is not an issue. He goes to sleep, sleeps for about 2 hours, and is fine.
