anyone feel like naps are always a battle?

[car_lost]

i dread getting up each morning!  my lo is a pretty good night sleeper but everyday it's a battle to get her to take her naps.  and if i do manage to get her down, she is up again 30 minutes later and there is no putting her back to sleep.

anyone else feel this way?

I remeber just getting him to sleep was a battle.  I'm not the best to give sleep advice, cus well I didn't fallow the rules.  But just to let ya know you are not the only one.

Hang in there.

I'm there too... her night sleep isn't too bad but the naps are SHORT!

If she wakes up happy, I leave her be... if she is grumpy, I try to put her back to sleep. I try for 15-20 minutes, then I let her get up... if she continues to be grumpy, I let it go for another 20-25 minutes and she goes down for a nap again. This is the only way I maintain my sanity.

I can't seem to extend her naps and even with short naps, it doesn't affect her night sleep so... why mess up a good thing?

You know my ds took alot of short naps when he was younger as he got older he started sleeping longer on his own.  I really didn't do much with the sleep training thing I let him tell me when he was tierd, and sleep for however long, and he put himself on a schedule.

When Brendan was younger, (under 3 months old) I dreaded the day naps.. he would get so upset and we really struggled.  I think I spent the first 5 months of his life, with a knot in my belly.

BUT.. it did improve and it got better.. and soon I stopped worrying and fretting about it. 

Is there anything we can help you with, so that it improves for you?
