I need advise. My 11-month-old LG cries when I put her down for her nap. My nanny is usually here and she goes to sleep with the nanny with no problem. I have been home alone with her for the past three mornings and EVERY SINGLE time is a struggle. She IS tired, her eyes are all red, she needs to sleep. When I take her to the room, she starts throwing a tantrum. I refuse to take her outside to go play, because then she skips her nap and is in a bad mood the rest of the day.
So what I do is I let her cry while I hold her and talk softly to her or sing to her. After about 10 minutes of crying she falls asleep.
WHY is she doing this and what is the best way to handle it? I won't let her cry on her own, so I will rather hold her till she falls asleep than to walk out.
Power Struggle?
