I nurse him to sleep. I always nursed him for his naps too. But now my son (14 months) just won't nap. Today he spent 2 hours walking between "his" room (with a futon on the floor where we both sleep) and the living room. He'd say, in his baby language, "sleep! sleep!," run into his room, lie down on his back, smiling, and then about a minute later get up and come back on to play. Why won't he sleep?

His babysitter walks him to sleep. She walks and whispers a song and rubs his nose. I don't want to do that, because I want her technique to keep working.

My technique was always to nurse him. But now he seems to be so excited about the world around him that 8 times out of 10 I fail at getting him to nap.

What do you do to get your kid to take a nap?
