Big bed and naps
Sigh!
My ds is almost 21 months, we took the sides off his cotbed last week. Bedtimes are going well, but he will not nap in there during the day
He really needs a sleep (and me to, almost 40 weeks pregnant!) in the afternoon. He just won't stay in the bed long enough to fall asleep. It get's to about 1pm and then he's in an awful mood all the way to bedtime. I know it's only been a week but the sooner I get this nailed the better!!
Anyone have any advice? Thanks!xx

bed = nap.
Difficult when you are 40 weeks pregnant though!

Just spoke to HV, she said to sit by his bed, but he just gets out and sits beside me. I've had to leave the room before I lose my head. I can hear him wrecking the place and moaning because he's so tired.
I suppose we should have done this earlier!!
I guess he thinks that going to sleep is easier than keep getting put back into bed!
I only sit by his bed at night. During the day I always leave the room.
Keep going. It just takes persistence.

In the end we decided to take him to bed, explain to him that it was 'quiet time' & that Mummy/Daddy would come to get him when it was time to get up, then let him get on with it.
We had a few days where his clothes were all over the room but he would soon give in & go to sleep although mostly on the floor rather than his bed!. After a few days he started going to sleep much more easily.
