Hi everyone - I enjoy reading all the threads on co-sleeping and attachment parenting...I have a question: how do you get your 2+ toddlers down for a nap? I'm realizing that my son has to have me there, preferably with him holding "nursy-nurse" (I'm trying to wean from nurse to sleep pattern), until he has fallen asleep. Then I can leave the room. But if he wakes in the middle of his nap, I have to go in and lie with him until he falls asleep again. And then sometimes, he will awake as I try to leave the room. So inevitably I will have to remain there if I want him to have any kind of decent nap. It causes a problem when there are chores to be done, and what if I had another child?
I've tried to get him interested in a "lovey", but my nipples seem to be that right now.
How do people do it?
Thanks for any thoughts.
