WOW - you all read my mind about naps

[Guest guest]

I have been meaning to post my question about Dalia's naps....what a

stressful topic this is. She has always been a short napper, but

generally a good sleeper at night (doesn't usually wake)...although

she has to be in bed by 6-6:30 pm and wakes up anywhere from 5:30-6:30

on a good day. Lately she has been waking here and there, but she is

also teething big time.

I have been stressing over the nap thing for sooooo long. I mean how

can a child survive with one 45 minute nap per day???? She had around

2 weeks of longer naps recently but that was short lived. I hope it

gets better one day...I have joined a sleeping message board in search

of any help.....argggggg. I am not glad that others on this board

have the same problem, but I am sort of glad that I am not completely

alone in this.

Does anyone here have any tips?

FWIW, I never napped. Always had enough energy and was awake until a good 8pm

because my father didn't get home from work until 7pm and my mom said I was

always

awake when he got home.

At 39, I nap a WHOLE lot more <wink>. And have considerably less energy too
