    18 month old

    Same one I posted about not eating previously. She's eating, playing beautifully. Dropping off fine.

    Now it's nap. She was napping 12-3 when she started. That lasted two weeks. She would lay down, fall right to sleep and wake up talking, happy, smiling. Since she was by far my latest kid waking up, I started napping her in a bedroom down the hall (kids nap in the playroom). She naps 11-2+ at home. She's now waking after 45 minutes SCREAMING her head off. She's obviously tired, she's yawning and irritable for the rest of the day (and Mom said it's throwing her off at home- cranky, wanting to go to bed earlier).

    Any ideas? I have white noise on for the kids in the playroom, and despite that+ music, she's still waking everyone up (and I have a younger crew now, mostly 2's/young 3's, so it's making afternoons cranky!)

    any advice? I've been going in, telling her "SHHHH, it's quiet time, night night." and leaving (Mom does the same at home)

    White noise in the room with her and no more going in and "shhh ing her". Don't open the door at all. in my experience with daycare kids and my own, going in makes it worse and makes it last longer.
