How to get son to take naps?

Do you do the same wind down routine with him for naps as you do for his night sleep? I used to just plunk our daughter down from activity and games right into the crib thinking she'd peacefully nap. HA! I now spend about 30 min soothing her, singing lullabies, taking her to her dim room with less stimulation and cuddling her before even attempting to put her down. It works every time unless I acted too late and she's overtired, at which point she will fight sleep like crazy.

Well, the good thing is that he sleeps great at night. If he naps during the day while you are holding him, then you know he must be tired. Start to have a routine nap time that is consistent every day and then just put him in the crib. Let him know it is nap time. He is not going to like it at first, he is going to cry but he will eventually go to sleep. Check on him after 5 min, then let him know it is nap time, leave the room again and extend the time to 10 min before you go in again. The first couple of days will be hard and it will take some time, but eventually it will work out. Just be patient.

i'm having the comparable subject with my son. He honestly refuses to take a sleep. he will lay in his mattress for hours. annoyed sooner or later I stated high-quality no nap. He enjoyed it! I hated it! We the two quickly discovered that even however he thinks there are extra significant issues he could desire to be doing, he nonetheless needs a sleep. He grew to become into cranky and grouchy from late afternoon till mattress time that night. in certainty, he's refusing to take a sleep right now. I in simple terms tried to frivolously clarify to him that he needs to take a sleep so he could have extra slumbering capability to make it by way of the day ( we are meant to be going to dinner this night). he's refusing and throwing a in high-quality condition, screaming at me to flow away him on my own, so thats precisely what I did. I left him on my own and now he's out like a fats youngster in dodgeball. No way is he waiting to forego the naps!!!!!!

you can only try to leave him in there, in hope hel fall asleep,

maybe he isnt tired. why does he have to go in crib in day time???

have you treid taking him for a walk to let him have a sleep in the day?

maybe if after he falls asleep in your arms, put him in the crib.
