This time home has been fraught with ear infections, stomach trouble and sleeplessness. We have tried having him sleep in his own bed in our room, which worked for a little while, but seems to not be working now. The first few days he would take two good naps a day by himself. Now he screams and screams any time we try to put him down for a nap. With my bio boys we did not cosleep and so I am having a hard time figuring out how to work that in. He is now exhausted but will not take a nap. Any suggestions. In all the adoption reading I did before we brought him home, I never read about the simple things like nap time. Did Belane struggle with nap times as well? What did you do for her? Help. Your last two post were very encouraging in dealing with a "needy, clingy" child. For some reason this wasn't something I was prepared for..... I know you get lots of questions but if you have an suggestions I would really appreciate it. btarms@hotmail.com<br /> Thanks- Traci We just brought home an 11month little boy from Ethiopia a week ago.
