Our boy is 18 months now and since he was born he was on EASY. It worked very well on him and we did not have much problem on putting him on a routine. He always slept well and alone in the crib. Just before hollidays he was very addapted, we put him on the crib, have a little talk about sleep time, we will always be there for him and see you tomorrow, etc. When talking he look at us and when we live the room, he sleeps alone without crying.
He's usual routine is:
Wake up at 8am
Lunch at 12pm
Nap at 1pm
Wake up at 3pm
Dinner at 7pm
Bed at 8pm
On this Hollidays, we've traveled to Miami (- 3 hours) and in the place that we were there was no crib, he sleept in a small bed that he was able to leave whenever he wants. It was hard to make him sleep alone because he left the bed and walk to the living room. Sometimes we've had to make him sleep in our arms. We've stayed 9 days there. When we came back, he doesn't want to sleep at all (nap and night). When he realizes that he is going to sleep (enter to his room and it is dark or that we are going upstairs and mama and sis don't), he starts to cry and try to leave. He is very tired, we can see, but he doesn't want to sleep, he wants to stay with us and play. When I talk to him in the crib, he cries times and when we leave the room, he cries all the times and a lot, very loud. Even if we get him and (in our arms) put him in a position more comfortable to sleep, he cries knowing that we are doing this.
What should we do to put him back in the routine and want to sleep ? We are back for 7 days.
At what age should he stop naping ?
