Nap time woes
Thus far, I've been really lucky when it comes to naps. I've had other issues, but napping has never been one of them THANK GOD because I need that 2 hour break...well...until now.
I have a 22 month old that just started and he's not napping well AT ALL. At first, it was just that he cried before falling asleep. So, I sat with him and he would fall asleep and that was great. His first day, he slept for 2 hours. His second day, about an hour and a half - yesterday 45 minutes and today - 25 minutes.
Normally, this would be OK, however, he cries when he wakes up and he's LOUD. Not only that, but he CLIMBS out of his playpen! Today, I went in and gave him a toy and a sippie cup of water and he played. But LOUDLY. He yelled, screamed TOYS, banged, thumped. I went in and shhhed him a few times, but then when I would leave he would just cry.
I don't know what to do! I'm actually thinking about terminating him and it's only been 4 days. Normally, I can handle it, but today he woke everyone up - including my son. I'm not willing to sacrifice my naps times. And with him climbing out and running around my room, waking up the other kids...
How long do you give time to learn how to nap before you term? He doesn't nap at all at home....
