I am in denial...

No no no no no no no no no no. 

DS has been fighting naps since Friday. On Friday, I assumed it was because I was so drugged out of my mind on a super-antihistamine shot from Urgent Care that I unceremoniously tossed him in his crib and went to lay down before I fell down. He proceeded to play and babble for the entire 2.5 hours that I drifted in and out of sleep. 

Saturday, I thought it was because I waited too long for DH to finish a conference call and that we missed his sleepy window. 

Sunday, daylight savings. More excuses have followed. You see where this is going. 

Our nanny, who gets DS down for his nap unfailingly every time she is here, did not manage to make him sleep at all at home today. She tried on an off for almost 2 hours. They finally just went out for a long walk in the stroller. 

SHOOT ME if he is giving up his nap already. DD also started fighting the nap around this age (he is 19 months old) and gave it up for good shortly before turning 2. For the last few months that she napped, almost all of those naps occurred while out and about, or while she was laying down in my bed with me next to her. No more "me" time or time to work or cook or do anything at all during her naps. 

I AM NOT READY FOR THIS.

Keep trying. We had a rough month around that time.

I though you were going to say you got a bfp. Lol So at least it's not that?

Sorry he might be dropping a nap already. I would not be happy about that either.

Omg, I don't think I would even be posting coherently if that were the case. Thanks for putting things into perspective!

Well it still sucks he might be dropping his nap. I think I would keep trying just in case it's an off week or two. And if he'll talk to himself in his crib or play quietly, then I would totally keep doing that.

He's only a month older than my DS2 and yeah, that is definitely not allowed. Tell him I said so.

I wouldn't give up. DD has gone through spouts like that before and gone back to napping until age 3.

[soozy87]

My kid gave up naps around the time his brother was born, for a month or so. Now he is back to taking a nap almost every day. Don't give up!

[brooklyn]

No! He's not allowed to stop napping yet!

J still naps and I will cry when he stops. I need that me time!

Same.

DD had a major nap strike at 2.5 and it lasted for almost a month. I thought I was doomed but then she started napping again. She was taking a 2 hour nap and now I'm lucky if it's an hour.

I'm going to try the double-whammy of his regularly-scheduled class tomorrow morning and then heading over to the event you posted about. Maybe that will knock him out? (Please, baby Jesus, please!)

ETA: D'oh, can't do that tomorrow. I have a parent-teacher conference at DD's school mid-day. Blergh. Next week!

[timorousbeastie]

DD went through a phase around that age where she wouldn't nap either. Right now, she has been napping for over 2 1/2 hours. So there is still hope!

[patbutcher]

I wouldn't give up. Dd has been through horrific no nap phases. Also if he is in his crib babbling, I would leave him there, unless he is screaming, I wouldn't get him out.
