Nap strike enters day 2 :(

[imimahoney]

Ughhhhh, the screaming is so horrible. Do I go get him and try again in 45 minutes? I hate not knowing what to do or how to get him to sleep.

I'd let b cry for 30-45 min then go get her. I never tried a second time, but if we went anywhere in the car she would be out like a light.

I'm inching in on 40 minutes. I guess a long walk is in our afternoon future.

Have you tried giving a pain reliever? Could it be teething?

I usually get her up and try again in an hour or so. Maybe he's trying to push his nap back?

[imimahoney]

Yep, he's had advil every day this week.

I would think he needs a later nap except he is so tired. Rubbing his eyes and yawning like crazy.

[imimahoney]

I just brought him downstairs and he is fine, 1000% happy. Wtf!

That's how B was during her nap strike. In the afternoons I'd take her somewhere she loved and would be happy being there, or where it wouldn't matter if she melted down, like the park.

That sucks. I hope the strike ends soon.

I am so sorry! I really hope it gets better soon.
