i dont want to scare him now, but in a year or so, i really want to convince him to try again. i forget now if you had a c-section or not, but i've read that with c-section you should give it sometime so the scar can heal. but you should do what you feel is right for you and your family

I am wondering if i can get some tips from you ladies. I am still trying to establish nap time routine with zara. her bedtime routine is down and she is even sleeping through the night, but nap time she fights me. ive read tips online and did everything. i put her down in her crib when she shows signs of tiredness. i put on soft music and this vibrator thing i use. but she fights it for like 30 or 40 minutes before she finally falls asleep. the lengths are inconsistent too. sometimes she will sleep for hours, other times its barely 20 min. this is especially problematic everyday after i pick her up from daycare. her last nap ends at 2:45 or 3pm at which time she eats. when we get home, she eats again at 5:30, and starts to get tired and i try to get her down for a nap. trouble is that her bedtime is around 8pm or 8:30pm. she will either fight and fight for 30 and take a 20 min nap and then be cranky till bed time or will take a really long nap and i usually have to wake her up before bedtime to feed her and put her back to sleep. on the weekends its a little better, but she still fights nap time. i guess my questions are:
- is that just how it is? do babies usually fight nap time and eventually get a hold of it?
- are there tips you use that help? i tried using a mobile, a projector soother, a vibrator, white noise, soft music. it usually holds her attention for a few minutes, and then she starts fussing. anything you ladies use that helps?
- literature says not to use any "props" because then the baby becomes dependent on those and will not know how to sleep on her own. what do you think?
i feel so useless sometimes. i feel like i should know what helps her sleep but i dont know if its because she is in daycare and i just dont know what works for her. ive asked what they do at daycare and they usually just let her fall asleep where she is.
any tips you ladies have will help.

my husband didnt want to use the dandruff shampoo or baking soda because he was afraid of hurting her. i did find something that worked better than oil. i got Aveeno's eczema wash and moisturizing cream. the wash keeps her skin softer and when the flakes do come back, they are much much softer and easier to get off. after i wash her hair i put the cream in and it take care of the redness and again softens her scalp.
my pediatrician said losing hair is normal and that they lose their hair and new hair grows.View Thread

if formula, try Enfamil Gentleease. it works pretty well
