I'm going to be helping a friend by watching her DS in their home for the next 3 weeks 2-3 days a week. My problem is that they are a year apart and her child is on a completely different nap schedule. DS only goes down for a nap if I lie down next to him. This week to get him used to sleeping in a packnplay I've let him nurse himself to sleep on my lap and transition him to the packnplay and he wakes up screaming. I won't be able to lie down to nurse him where I'll be because I'll be watching a VERY ACTIVE 18 month old. The alternative is to just not have him nap, but then I'll be dealing with a very cranky 6 month old.
Also, my friend lets her child CIO at every naptime, but this is not an option for me. I'm doing her a favor so if he doesn't get his nap because I wouldn't let him cry, I'm sure she'll be fine, but then we'll BOTH have cranky children on our hands.
Any suggestions?
