DC mom asks me to stop napping her kid (2.5 yrs old). She knows the rules, I had her other daughter. She keep s commenting on how late her daughter stays up in her bed at night and getting out of bed etc. I think this is a parenting issue, not a nap issue. She engages with her kid constantly during the night instead of just ignoring her which is what I suggested. I also told her if shes in her bed, who cares if she's awake (she watches her on the monitor). As long as she wakes up happy, is happy during the day and naps for me then we're good. Her other daughter "stopped napping at 2 yrs." She also napped for me.
I told her I can't keep her awake. She is leaving in 3 mos for a maternity leave anyways. I will try my own experiment and see how she suddenly goes down at night when mom thinks she is not napping very well here.
