I am a mother of 3 & have not had this issue with any of my children (or other child care children) so I do not know how to address it.
From 6-9 mths she would not nap, unless I was holding her ALL the time, if I swaddled her & rocked her to sleep. Letting her rest for 5 mins... I'd put her in playpen to sleep & she'd wake up. I was worried about it then & documented everything. I asked Mom to speak to her ped for guidance for us on how to address or for her to let me know how she (Mom) wants me to tackle.
Well now at a year of age.... Mom tells me she naps 2x day. The little girl has been back with me 2 wks. I've been able to get her to sleep a few times. Though... I now have other infants in care & cannot spend all the time the little girl wants holding her thru a nap.
The little girl will rub her eyes, zone out & lay on the playroom floor. But if I put her down in playpen, rub her back...she'll zone out...dozing off & I'll walk away. She'll whine (no tears). After 2 weeks...I attempted to test her today.... which Mom told me she woke up at 530 this morning....am nap attempted at 930 she whined for 30 minutes no sleep. PM nap @ 130... whined for 5 mins & finally dozed off...she slept for 30 mins & my husbands cell phone went off waking her....she whined for the next 30 mins.
Is allowing an infant to whine (no tears) abuse & any advice or stories to share would be appreciated? I really don't care if the little girl naps....but it seems strange to me & the little girl is really sensitive if she doesn't nap. Plus I DON'T want to face any allegations of abuse.
My main question is how long is too long to let her whine. I don't want to hurt her in any way... but reading online I'm seeing she has not learn how to self sooth, hence letting her go for a little bit today.
I shared this with Mom today... she's gonna try to bring in some stuff from the infants bed to help comfort her.View Thread
Sometimes Vicks Baby Rub helps my daughter, but not often.View Thread
I don't have any advice, but I wanted to offer a virtual hug and show of support. And keep doing those wonderful things you've been doing to continue bonding with your little girl. I hope you find your way through this challenging time and come out the other side stronger and happier!!View Thread
Others have recommended mixing formula/BM with the milk and gradually reducing the amount mixed in.
Another thing on the sippy cup, it could be the cup you are using. We are using Philips AVENT Philips AVENT Soft Spout Cup With Handles 7oz 2 Pk (6m ) - it says on the package that it's the easiest transition from a bottle to sippy cup. DD#2 LOVES these cups! I've tried another with her, she'll drink from it but not as good as she does with these.
Don't worry, your child will get the hang of milk soon!View Thread
DO NOT let that doctor worry you. If your son is at all like mine, he'll do wonderfully. They just seem to pick what they want to focus on for the moment and throw themselves completely into that.
My doctor says my son is a little speech delayed for his age, but it's common, and he's coming along fantastically. My understanding is that growing up bilingual naturally pushes back speech development a little.
Sounds like you have NOTHING to be worried about.View Thread

Egg can sometimes fool you. Some people won't react to cooked egg, but will react to the uncooked (pasteurized) egg that's sometimes found in frosting.
