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.... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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? ------------- |

she has days where she wont sleep say 2-3 days in a row then she spends 1 day catching up.
she also has 4 top teeth coming through at once....i suppose we have just swapped on thing for another...she was off her milk for 2 wks but now shes drinking that but not napping... she was down by 6.15pm and will let her sleep till she wakes...in sayingt that she has been sleeping from 6.30pm-8am ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
