I love naps.
I wish Crockett loved naps.
Crockett doesn't hate them, he is just inconsistent.
Crockett takes a morning nap in his crib. It used to be for 2 hours. Today 45 minutes.
Crockett takes an afternoon nap in the car for at least an hour. I drive or read.
I hate the car habit.
I dream of writing a blog post that gives a detailed description of Crockett's nap schedule. 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
I pray about my nap schedule obsession all the time.
I pray for wisdom, patience and an open mind.
I have read Baby Wise and Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child. Enjoyed both. Have a fabulous night time sleeper as a result of the wisdom in these two books.
I talked to a wise friend with 3 kids today and have a plan of attack for tomorrow...
We are staying home all day and Crockett will go down for a nap after an hour to an hour and a half of wake time.
I am hopeful.
Please keep us posted! Davis is still taking multiple naps a day, most of them in his swing, so I am confident we will have trouble down the road when he is taking only 2 naps...
ReplyDeleteHey, Christian. I followed the Healthy Sleep book to the letter, and I thought it was really, really helpful. I think I just didn't realize how little they should be awake at first. We found that there was a lot of hard work- I called it nap camp, but it has paid off and made life super easy now. I hope it works for you too! He is such a doll!
ReplyDeleteYes! Decreasing wake time was KEY for us! It feels so weird to put them down that quick but it worked. :) Give it some time though and keep us posted!
