More of a vent than anything I think....I have had a little dcg here for the last two months and STILL she screams every naptime. She used to scream all day and wouldn't eat for me or sleep at all ( I posted about this before). We have absolutely made progress but naptime we cannot get fixed. She sleeps for half hour maybe 45 minutes ( if I'm lucky) then yells the rest of the time ( off and on...some days more on than off) No tears. No trauma. She stops the second she sees me and says "done". She's just mad! It makes naptime SO stressful. I can't sleep her near the other kids which limits my own movement throughout the house when it's naptime. This will be a big issue when my own children are home for holidays or breaks. Mom tells me she is not being picked up at home if she does this, but I'm starting to question it. The rest of the day, this dcg has become my quietest, happiest, sweetest thing. Naptime just the opposite. I have tried going down in intervals, patting her back and telling her she's ok and to go back to sleep. That only peeves her off MORE! I've tried just leaving her be to cry. ( which honestly is the only thing that keeps me semi-sane). It's not helping. Granted some days she's more off than on with the yelling but it's the same routine daily. Really wears on my nerves and make the rest of the day after nap stressful. aaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuu uuuughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!
