And how do you enforce naps with an older child? My 3-year-old sleeps 11-12 hours at night and until recently was mostly good about taking naps. Now he resists them. I still give him an opportunity to nap daily but he just plays in his room, won't sleep, and he is SO TIRED through most of the day. Until what age should my son be taking naps?

Before I went back to work I had my 3 month old son going to sleep regularly at 10pm, but I had to bounce and rock him for an hour. Now that his father is putting him to sleep he is up until 1am crying. Letting him cry doesn't work because he will cry, then cry harder, then choke and/or spit up and finally scream. He also will not nap during the day. At both times he needs to be bounced to sleep, then as soon as I try to lay him down he wakes up and starts to cry, I do this at least four or five times. To get him to sleep during the mornings and afternoons I give him my breast and sleep with him, obviously his father can't do this at night. This last week has gotten bad enough that we've been letting him sleep in the bed with us. How do I help him to sleep better? Hi Dana,

I have a 9 mo. old and I am trying to get him out of his nightly waking habit. He still wakes about twice a night, and he falls back to sleep after I nurse him. I want to get rid of that crutch, but when I don't nurse him he just cries. Friends tell me I just have to tough it out and let him cry and eventually he'll sleep through the night. I don't like letting him cry it out, but is it okay to let him cry it out, and what's the time limit? Thanks!! How long should we let our babies cry when going to bed or down for a nap?
