Not Napping what to do?

[Picture.Of.Obedience]

Now Trevor doesnt nap, he will fight it and fight it. Yesterday he took a total of 1 hour (10 min here and there )............so i dont know what the prob is.

so last night he went to sleep for the night at 6:30 or 7pm, slept 5 hours and was up every 2 hours. i dont know what to do to get him to take a long nap again. He was doing so good set in that routine and then it got all out of whack.

It happens Stacy. Christian is somewhat still like that. She will go days without a nap and then will sleep most of the day one day. There isn't anything that Ihave found that will help.

Yes, don't worry. Babies get their sleep sometime, he will get the sleep he needs for the growing! Everytime I thought I had what David would do during the day figured out he'd go and change it again, moving his naps around or whatever. I just got to know his sleepy signs (rubbing his eyes and unhappy look with fussy sound) and when he said it was naptime, I obeyed. I still do that actually.... sometimes he takes only one long nap, sometimes two.

As far as nighttime, I'm pretty sure most babies choose a bedtime of 7-9pm. Its probably better just to follow his cues. We were going to make David's bedtime 9pm, but David chose 8pm by falling asleep. We took the cue and his bedtime has been 8pm ever since. Actually, I am very grateful it ended up being 8pm, because that gives my husband and I 2-3 hours before bed. We spend some of it together, and some of it apart. These days my husband likes to play PS2 and watch terribly boring sports on his time, I like to use the computer and scrapbook these days.

I used to refuse to tell anyone when DS would nap, cause as soon as I figured it out and got excited he would change! Really drove me crazy, good news DD wasn't that way, so some kids are and some arn't I guess.

My son fights sleep to. I am greatful that he seems to sleep at night still, but during the day he will nap for several hours throughout the day or he will nap for an hour (in 10 minute intervals) through the day. I have not been able to figure out why either though.

Just want to echo what everyone else has said. Give him a couple days and see what happens. At some point there will have to be some kind of adjustment in the sleeping pattern and this might be one of those times. Adjustment needs to happen several times throughout their young lives. Keep encouraging the night time sleep.

Also watch for other cues that might indicate not feeling well or something. My daughter always let me know she was getting a cold by not napping or sleeping through the night.
