View Full Version : Baby Won't Nap?

My DD is 4 1/2 mo. old. She is sleeping through the night which is wonderful. Unfortunately she will not nap during the day without the aid of her swing. Does anyone have a suggestion for me. I don't want to use her nightime routine during the day, because then I'm afraid she won't be able to differentiate. At night I nurse her to sleep in my bed and then transfer her to her crib.

Thanks,
Bridget

I had the same problem with my 4 1/2 mo old until a friend of mine gave me the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy child.
This book has been a life saver and highly recommend it!
My DD went from Sleeping very sleep at night with very short naps to sleeping from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 am, and naps are now at least 1-2 hrs in duration.
Here is the link for you look into it.
Good luck!
