My baby just hates naps and will cry constantly. We’re okay with letting him cry it out but he’s fully capable of crying for a straight 45+ minutes, thus eliminating the nap anyway...any help?

Not sure if you just put him down in the crib or if you rock him to sleep. Getting a particular ritual and sticking to it to signal sleep helps. When it gets out of hand, walking around in a stroller, or just taking a drive helped us..

For our babies, when it's near nap time we will swaddle them and lay them down in a public area where we all are, like the corner of a couch. Then once they start looking groggy, we'll transition them to the crib. It helps them not go from high activity to nap time easier.
Good luck!

I would highly recommend giving swaddling a try. “Swaddleme” swaddles are awesome! We also try to create a calm period before nap time. Basically going into their room with it darkened and quiet. This has been much more effective that going from general high energy areas straight to nap time. We also have 4 kids so our house can be highly energetic so this may not apply as much to you.

Some baby also just hate naps. My first hated naps. I’d have to rock him for 20 minutes just for him to get a 30 minute nap. My second baby sleeps like a champ.

Our boy had reflux so we would put him in a rocker on an incline which seemed to help. We also used a sound machine to help define the sleep environment

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
