Nap Strike--anyone else?

[dc2london]

He has been standing at his (locked) bedroom door crying for 15 minutes But he also has not taken a nap in three days.  The only way he will nap is if I put him in the stroller and jog.  It's great motivation, but on days like today, when it's sleeting, it's not an option.  Ugh.  NAP, CHILD.

J went through a phase like this, too.  I had to just lock him in his room and let him sort it out. It sucks though

Naps are the only time L does actually sleep, she is up all night so I have nothing helpful to add except my sympathy. Sorry you are dealing with a nap strike, but I always hear it is just a phase so keep your head up, Mama!

Boo! Nap buddy, mommy needs it!

Nap strike and massive tantrums. It's not awesome.

You have my sympathies. Dd hasn't napped in over a year, but nap used to be quiet time, aka, Mommy's nap time too. Now all she wants to do is play, and it is making her grumpy in the evenings.

So about five minutes after I posted this he went to sleep and slept for 2 hours. So apparently I have to just lock him in his room? It feels so mean though.

I will die when we give up naptime. Today he didn't go until 2:15 and I was ready to pass out by then. I fear for my sanity when I have two kids and one refuses naps and the other is up all night:
