Napping for Babies
Is it true that you should never wake a sleeping baby?
How do I put my child to sleep when she only wants to play? Should I wait until she gets tired?
It's tough to impose nap time on a child who wants to play and is used to mommy and/or daddy being a consistent (and constant) source of entertainment.
Turn playtime into nap time.
Try relaxing activities, together - snuggling in a favorite chair, or rocking him in your arms in front of the crib - and then put her down, quietly kissing her, "Night-night, now" with some soft music playing in the background.
Gentle reminders are to be expected and encouraged.
