Ok so I just want to kinda confirm I guess what you do for naps. I have a 16m old who I have had since she was 9m. Still cries when I put her down for a nap (that is getting better, shorter) but she only sleeps 45mins to an hour, and then wakes up screaming bloody murder. My own kids always slept 2 hrs solid, if not more.And any other child I've looked after that naps sleeps this long as well. I think she needs more than that and if I give her a morning nap, that lasts 1/2 hr and she wont go at all for the afternoon nap.

SO, do I leave her for the 1/2 or 2hrs that I want her to nap and let her cry? Will she eventually sleep for this duration? or at least not scream? or is this just gonna be the way it is?
