Co-op time and baby's nap time conflict.

I thought that I had it figurered out, but after today, I'm not too sure. Right now dd 13 months is kind of, sort of transitioning from two naps to one. So, when she actually naps, is iffy right now.

 

For example: Yesterday she didn't have a nap until 2pm. Monday, I don't think she had one until 12 or 1pm. Today, at co-op, she didn't fall asleep until 1pm and only slept for 30 min. Not enough time. She's sleeping again right now and has been since 3pm.

 

She nurses to sleep and I usually nurse her in my bed. She co-sleeps, so no crib/pack n play. She's not one that I am able to lay in a bed after she's asleep, she wakes up.

 

What do I do? If I don't do the co-op portion in the afternoon (teaching some), the older kids aren't allowed to be a part of the music portion in the morning. Music is really important to them.

 

WWYD? I really need thoughts here:bigear:. Thank you!

Well, I can tell you what I do. While the kids are having lunch at the co-op, I drive around with the baby in her carseat until she falls asleep. This takes anywhere from 15-45 min. :tongue_smilie:.

 

Then I park nearby and eat my lunch in the car until she wakes up (usually an hour). Her usual nap at home is 90 min. to 2 hours, so she doesn't get quite as long a nap as usual, but it's enough.

 

Hope that helps!

Thank you. I was thinking of trying this. Maybe it'll work. An hour nap is better than NO NAP, right?
