 Topic: Sleeping Patterns

Man Rhiannon has been up since 8am this morning...no naps no nothing...no matter how hard we tried she would not go down for a nap...dont know what to do
she seems to have dropped her morning nap but is now not sleeping in the arvo and by this time 5.15pm is really grumpy and our arensic hours starts full steam ahead
she is quiet at the moment due to stuffing her face, and then she will ahve a little play then a bath, then a bottle then bed
but how do i get her to have a nap.
on the bright side...she is now pulling herself up on furniture and for the first time today said DADDY so Kent could hear.

Maya was never a fantastic day sleeper, and often I would put her down and she would lie in the cot and babble and chatter but not actually sleep. I was OK with that as she seemed happy enough when she got up, and it gave me the break I needed to have lunch/tidy up/collect myself etc. I would leave her for an hour or so then let her get up. If she was tired she would generally sleep.
Of course if Rhiannon is screaming when you put her down, thats a different story....

Will she take a break in her room with a small amount (maybe 2) of hard cover books or quiet toys?
Is it usual for her to not sleep during the day, or just a couple of days?

That sounds exactly like what Ella did.. (still does sometimes). Unfortunately I can say it started from when she started teething until she finished.. and there wasn't anything I could do to get her to sleep! Just wanted to say I know what it's like!!

Taine goes through stages of refusing to nap - but he goes into that cot regardless, and I wait 30 mins before I get him out - more out of rest for me than anything else. Jaker is now getting out of napping during the day - I juts leave him in bed for an hour and he reads - or like yesterday, climbs the bookcase and has it fall on him!
With Rhiannon though - i would just keep offering the naps and if she doesn't take them - oh well, but keep trying. she's probably a bit little to not be sleeping at all during the day - in saying that, you'd know better than me!!!

i agree lizzle she is too little not to be sleeping....its now 12pm and she has finally gotten so tired that she has fallen asleep but that was 6 hrs ....i am picking she will sleep for either 1hr...or 3 hours...and then be up for the rest of the day until bed time, which is 7pm....or early if she cant stay awake.
