Baby refuses to Nap
My little 10 month old guy has always been a champion napper ; Two 2 hour naps during the day (early morning after his breakfast) and one in the afternoon. He would also wake up twice during the night for milk. I would put him to bed at 8pm- he would wake up at 2 am for a bottle and then again at 5 am and then he would be up by 8am.
For the passed 2 weeks- he refuses to nap at all during the day and is waking up more frequently at night.
Despite being utterly exhausted during the day-(yawning- sleepy watery eyes) he just has a fit everytime I put him down in his crib. I've tried everything from trying to put him to sleep with me in bed- to taking him out on walks so he can sleep in his stroller (or at least get more tired from the outing), warm baths, bottle, reading to him...he just rubs his eyes continuously- yawns all the time but will under no circumstances take a nap. Not even for 20 minutes. On top of that- he is waking more frequently at night and I'm just afraid that he is not getting his daily sleep requirements. I checked to see if anything else could be bothering him in his crib- nothing. He's not gassy- his behaviour is the same (same happy giggling baby) and nothing seems to be bothering him- except that he's so tired. I thought he could be teething- but he has no signs of that either. I have an appt with his pediatrician next week but I was just wondering if any of you have had this issue and what you did. I'm really at a loss and done everything I could think of.
