From babies to big kids, make sure your little one is getting enough sleep with our handy guide to naps. And don't forget, sometimes you need a nap too!When you were pregnant, you probably imagined all the creative things you’d do when baby napped—work on, do a yoga video, catch up with friends on the phone…. A few months later, all you care about is finding creative ways to get him to nap so you can take a shower or catch a few winks yourself.

and doesn’t want to be left alone in the crib. Weiss advises parents to be flexible. You may have to change the pre-nap routine to help her wind down from active play.It’s not always teething — things like family vacations, sickness, travel or the need to transport a sibling to programs can disrupt a nap schedule that was working nicely. Don’t expect your baby to jump right back into the old routine when the tooth has erupted or the trip is over, says Weiss.

What can be frustrating is that often by the time you get to sleep, the baby wakes up again.
