no naps- EVER- life in disaster zone.
Actually, she eats right before "nap" and then again after. She's
still learning finger foods, and never eats much at one sitting, and she hates to have help, wants to do it all herself. I was worried about how little she seems to eat at times, so I started feeding her 4 times a day in the high chair, plus snacks. That way, I feel less stressed about how much she eats, and if she only eats a couple of bites of something, no big deal. It's worked out really well- she eats now at 7, 10, 1 and 4:30, and seems to eat about the same amount each time. Yesterday's nap? actually occurred. She fell asleep in the car (after quiet time from 11-12 resulted in no nap. I knew she'd wake up if I moved her and she looked so comfy that I pulled into the garage, got a pillow, and came out and joined her for a car nap. whatever works, I guess. JJ |

It's worked out really well- she eats now at 7, 10, 1 and 4:30, and seems to eat about the same amount each time. I fed my youngest daughter mini-meals throughout the day, too. And with all the kids, I'd let them snack through the day (not on junk of course). Some young ones once they can eat fingerfoods will ONLY eat fingerfoods so I know it can get tricky, feeling that they aren't eating enough. My youngest was also one of those only into fingerfoods, and I have relaxed sooo much about messiness during mealtimes. I am also an expert when at a restaurant at wisking her to the restrooms and returning to the table in the condition she was in when we arrived ) Yesterday's nap? actually occurred. She fell asleep in the car (after quiet time from 11-12 resulted in no nap.

You took a nap in the car?! How did you feel when you got up lol When I had a no-sleeper we only had one car so I was home almost everyday of her first year of life, I never experienced that one!
