Problems Napping at Grandma's

My mother-in-law watches our son while we go to work. There are days where he will sleep a total only a HALF HOUR (he sleeps in a pack n play at her house)! She told my husband we don't understand how hard it is to put him down. Of course we do we are his parents. There are some times, whether it is nap time or bed time, that he will take an hour to go down. Others he is out in 5 minutes. We keep trying to tell her the things we do at home for him (short of actually writing out his schedule) and are about at our wits end. She has been...

Help with Bedtime Routine

Hello, my twin 14 month old daughters are used to being rocked to sleep. I would like to get them to go to sleep in their cribs at night on their own. I usually give them their bedtime bottle at 7:30 and they are rocked to sleep. I would like to be able to put them in their cribs after for them to go to sleep on their own. We tried tonight and my husband could not stand the crying and took them out. My husband and I do not agree on this. (He is the stay at home parent and they are daddy's girls). What should I do? Should I let them cry and...

How Long Has Hubby/SO Had Their Haircut Style?

My hubby and I were sitting this am having a cup of coffee (something we rarely get to do on a weekday) and I looked at him and a picture of us from 10 years ago on the wall right behind him and realized he has the same hair style from the day I met him. Wow.... We met at 17 and I am sure he had the haircut for a while before that. So I would guess he has had this style for at least 16 years now. What about your hubby... do they change their styles/cut at all or have they been rockin the same do for years? hehehe

2 Year Old Won't Take Naps Anymore

I recently switched my two year old daughter to a toddler bed from her crib and now she isn't taking naps and I can't get her to even stay in the bed without having to sit right there...even then she won't fall asleep. Just wondering if anyone else has had or is having this same issue and how they resolved it if at all. I've had people tell me that she may just be "growing" out of her naps but at the end of the day it is very evident that she needs a nap. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Advice on Sleeping

Hi, I've been reading sooo much on sleep issues but haven't found a good plan to address our particular problem. I thought maybe you Mamas can help. Background: our daughter is 8 months old. She is cheerful and energetic and lovely but she isn't an easy sleeper. For her first 3 months, she slept next to us in a co-sleeper. At three months she started waking every hour needing to nurse and I ended up bringing her into our bed which actually worked great - at least we ALL were getting sufficient sleep. I considered moving her to her...
