    Naps....

    My daughter is 11months old. She was going through teething/a cold which started a couple of weeks ago. She wouldn't sleep in her crib for naps, she wasn't feeling well, would only sleep on me in the rocking chair or in the car. Now she is feeling a lot better (still has a bit of a runny/stuffed nose) but still won't sleep in her crib for naps. I put her in but she cries right away, I leave the room and she sits up holding onto the bars like she's in jail. lol And she will cry until I get her or she is left a little bit and she falls asleep. I don't feel right leaving her in there crying so I tend to take her out after a bit (which I know isn't good but otherwise she cries for so long ).

    Would you leave her to cry? (and if yes, would you start "NOW" or wait until her nose clears up??)

    I always feel sooooo bad when she is so upset...when I pick her up she does that "chokes up and then takes a big breath/sigh of relief" She is so happy that I have comforted her...

    As an ECE, looking after other people's children I can solve problems so easily knowing if the situation calls for a bit of crying which will lesson with time etc. But for my own daughter my mind is foggy and I seem to be in a "bubble". I need advice from someone looking from the "outside".

    Thanks so much!!
