Advice needed: 12 month old refuses to nap

[Inspired by Reggio]

Have you swaddled him?

That worked wonders with many of my problem sleepers? Swaddle a d gentle rock of the crib to help them soothe initially and than less and less time rocking?

I have also had infants that were just averse to the crib and had to go straight to a cot to sleep - is that an option?

Have you swaddled him?

I have had another provider tell me to do this when I was having a problem with a little one during nap time. I thought no way this would work- she was 13 months. As a last resort, I chatted with the parents to let them know the idea and that I haven't tried it but, know of a few providers that do this. They said go for it and I swaddled the little one up nice and tight and within a few minutes of crying- out like a light for almost 2 hrs for every nap time!! I've never had to try it since but it worked for this little one like a charm.
Worth a try if your at your wits end??? I thought no way but, it worked!
