DD1 13Months & wont sleep at nap time unless we're out & about

[absandme]

She sleeps really well through the night now but won't sleep during the day unless we're in the car or pushchair.

I used to be able to take her out the car seat asleep & put into cot no problem but as soon as she's in the cot she's up crying & won't go back to sleep.

If we don't go out for a walk or in the car to town then she acts tired, has milk, practically falls asleep at home but really wakes as soon as you try & put her in the cot. She then doesn't have a nap!

Any suggestions??

Try staying in fro 4 or 5 days and get her back into the habit and once back in the habit don't break the routine for longer than 2 days in a row?

My DS went through a phase of refusing naps in her cot. She used to fall asleep on the sofa so I jut let her.

She just won't fall asleep/stay asleep, I'd gladly let her fall asleep on the sofa coz I'm missing my little naps too!!

oops, I meant DD. Not helpful but DS hasn't had regular daytime naps since he was 10 months old.
How old is your DD?

dd 13months, does your ds get tired/ready 2 sleep or just goes without?

My ds started to only sleep in the car shortly before he gave up naps altogether . I used to take a flask and a book, drive somewhere nice and have a nice time while he slept!

DD has always had a 2/3 hour nap in the daytime, DS stopped and would get tired but just lie down with a book or something, then leap up and play. They both sleep well at night though.

Thanks for all your help .... miracle, we just had a nap, I gave her milk on my bed & lay down with her & both just had a nap.... it helped me & her, just hope tonight goes like normal, i reckon if i stick to the night routine it'll be fine!
