I need some advice on what to do about naptime with my son. Ever since he has learned to pull up, it is almost impossible to get him to lay down for a nap--he wants to pull up constantly and stand in his crib. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

My little guy stands up as well in his crib, actually he pulls himself up on everything these days. But naptime hasn't been an issue yet. He'll eventually get tired so just keep trying and checking on him but make sure he knows it's naptime!

My son is just learning he can pull himself to his knees in his crib. He hasn't gotten to his feet yet. As soon as I realized he could do this, his crib level went down so now he can't do it as well, but he still tries.

I have the same problem with my DD. I get worried though, because she isn't stable standing yet, and I'm afraid she'll fall over and hit her head. I have started rocking her to get her sleepy again, or letting her fall asleep with me in bed or on the couch, and then put her down. As with everything else, I am sure it will pass with time. good luck!

let him... if you are consistant about what time is nap time (or maybe now its just quiet time) let him be. As long as you both know that he is still in there for the required nap time. He will get tired and lay down eventually :)

I am coming up to the same thing!!
