I hate when she skips naps. I never know what to do with her. She's just a fussy mess and nothing makes her happy but she won't lay down and sleep. Ugh. I hate this.
3.5 weeks until younger SILs wedding. My dress hasn't come in yet of course. I'm trying not to worry because I mean, there is literally nothing I can do.
They had my size on the rack (which I tried on) and I was willing to buy it (even though who knows how many people had tried it on). But everyone insisted it would be fine. Dress is about two weeks late. New estimate is Halloween.
I'm not going to lie a tiny part of me is feeling petty because SIL waited wayyyyy late to have us pick out dresses (I dunno if you guys recall her yes,no,yea,no dance about whether or not we'd be in the wedding) and I looked right at her and said if you want to be absolutely positive I will have a dress for the wedding I WILL buy the one off the rack.

Well then I wouldn't worry as much. I'm a bridesmaid in my BIL's wedding next summer and we're going dress shopping in two weeks.

We went mid September I believe. The lady at the store said "oh November 2017? Good that you're getting a jump on it"
I think I'm going to try to go 90 minutes between naps. It makes me a bit nervous, but I think she's ready with as many naps as she's been skipping lately. If she's getting fussy earlier I'll still put her down, but I think I'm going to aim for 90 minutes. Eek! I'm not ready for this. I need more things to entertain her!
I'm torn on what to do for naps. Lately she's been refusing to fall asleep in the living room, but does just fine if I take her to bed with me. This could be because I take her to bed only after she's refused to sleep in the living room so she's extra tired, or it could be bed vs. couch. I don't know. But I don't like laying in bed when I'm not tired, I get REALLY antsy. But if I get up 90% of the time she wakes up immediately. So what do I do? How do I get her to get a decent nap without needing me to lay next to her? I know this is all my fault because up until now that's what I've always done, but it's time to change it. Do I just deal with shitty naps for a while and hope she catches on?

90 minutes between naps? Maybe she's skipping naps because she doesn't need that many and is ready to start consolidating. I think at this age they need between 12-16 hours of sleep each day total, with 10-11 hours of that being at night.
We're not on a strict schedule but A roughly naps 3x/day around 9am, 12pm, and 4pm. Then again she only naps for 45 minutes at a time tops so take my input with a whole shaker of salt.
Of course, babies are weird. Your mileage may vary.
@led I think maybe she does need to go longer between naps. Zach goes usually 2 hours in between now. If he isn't ready to sleep he is a beast to get down.

Right now, she's up for and hour and down for an hour from wake up until 4-5p. She's done great with that schedule so far. Only the last couple days she'll pick a nap and skip it. So that's why I'm thinking she needs to go longer. She stays up longer on the weekends when there is more going on around her and she does fine, but during the week being up for an hour has her ready to go back to sleep for the most part. Or it did.

My lo has been napping since we finished our hike at 12. It's 2:30 almost and he's still sleeping and he stinks like pee but I don't want to wake him to change him.
Random nap question. I had my heart set on da eventually sleeping in his crib for naps but except on occasional 40 minute naps he will not nap there he jsut purple screams. He also wakes from naps screaming.
Should I try him napping in the pnp again? We tried that at first but he wouldn't do that either.
At night he has no trouble sleeping in his cribs it's just naps.
Also @led do you have a pnp or crib you can try to get her into for nap time? You might need to do some sleep training.
Like fishbulb we have 3 naps a day usually lasting around an hour each.
She wakes up too easily for me to get her into her crib because I'm so short. I can't quite lay her down very easily. She hasn't slept in there since she was like 3 weeks old anyways. lol. She'll likely still sleep in my bed, I just need to get her to stay asleep with my boob in her face. I got up this nap and she stayed asleep for another 20 minutes. So maybe it's just a matter of when I get up? I don't know. I'll keep trying things. But then I know I'll just ruin it all when I fall asleep next to her and take a nap with her and stay there the whole time. lol. And I have nothing against laying in bed with her during her naps if it weren't for the fact that I get these really hyper spurts where I really just cannot lay still. I don't know. I'm sure we'll figure something out. She's a pretty good sleeper otherwise, so a few short naps isn't the end of the world. Maybe I'll try her crib again. Who knows what it'll be like now. I should probably clean it up, though. Right now it's full of too small baby clothes.

I think going 90 mins will help. DD is up to just about 2 hours in between now and that's made naps way better! She's tired enough to pass out! Hopefully that means you can put her down and walk away and do things.

Yeah I agree an hour is likely too short of a wake time at her age. We are around 90 min and only 5 months today. I would think she is more like 90-120 min.
And sorry no advice for the location. We've got a crib sleeper. There is no way he could sleep in the living room. He needs his crib, a dark room and his white noise.

One of the windows on the 11th floor was somehow busted out about an hour ago. They're lucky it wasn't during lunch hour since based on where the glass landed, if people had been out, there would have been some serious injuries.
It's all the talk of the office. We don't get much excitement around here.
Also, @led, I'd be willing to deal with shitty naps/sleep for a few weeks if it potentially meant better sleep for several months and/or years. But I'm also a rip the bandaid off type person.
