Thread: Baby decided no more naps

my lo has been having close to the same problem. he only sleeps for about 15 min. any time during the day. but the plus is he sleeps all night so I am unsure when he really should be sleeping, we have a bouncy ball (exercise ball)and he loves it I sit with him and bounce he falls right asleep. good luck

When he does fall asleep and i put him down, he won't stay sleep for more than 30 minutes. sometimes i have to keep him on my chest just for him to get enough sleep so he won't be fussy.

haha dodge941- I have the same issue. I bounce on that damn excercise ball all day. lol?She loves it!

Anyone having this issue. I know I shouldnt complain because she sleeps awesome at night. All business eats and goes right back to bed. But in the last two weeks its hit or miss on naps. Somedays she takes one and others not at all. Read healthy sleeping habits, babywise, 90 min baby etc and tried all ideas to get her to sleep.She is 8 weeks tomorrow and I feel like she is to young to let her cry it out. ANyone have any advice?
