I take off his shorts unless their soft cotton because I figure I wouldn't be comfortable in them so he won't be either. I'll anser the bottle question through email because it's too long. <BR/>Stephanie: Thanks for the input. That's where I've been getting my plans (Healthy Sleep Habits) and I've been keeping him up longer which is working fine as far. =)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120400079714201927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30220779.post-27019880690264550602007-08-24T04:13:00.000-05:002007-08-24T04:13:00.000-05:00That is a great story!

My sister had the same issue(taking off diapers) for a while and they had to resort to masking tape so she wouldnt pull it off at night or during naps. It sounds harsh, but it worked, and she eventually quit playing with it. It was funny, for a while you could hear her messing with the diaper over the monitor and knew exactly what she was doing! I think she just liked to exercize control over that and she knew how it came on....thelittlefieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840513544439719030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30220779.post-25161846399637017122007-08-24T04:12:00.000-05:002007-08-24T04:12:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.thelittlefieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840513544439719030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30220779.post-23932132123422389202007-08-23T20:29:00.000-05:002007-08-23T20:29:00.000-05:00Oops, accidentally posted before I finished....

We go back and forth. One week, Hattie takes 2 naps, the next she takes 1. I always shoot for 2, though, because she still really needs both. One thing I have found that works is I keep her up longer between naps. So instead of 2-3 hours, I keep her up btw. 3-4 so she's REALLY tired. It's a suggestion in Healthy Sleep Habits, and it works for us some days. <BR/> I am so jealous about the 2 hour naps, though. Hattie's have ALWAYS pretty much ranged from 1 to 1.25 hours each. If she sleeps longer than 1.5 hours, I start to get worried.<BR/> Duct tape might help with the diaper issue...he he....only kiddin'!Blogahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390152245638471831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30220779.post-5956214621963949472007-08-23T15:56:00.000-05:002007-08-23T15:56:00.000-05:00Laura, I did have to laugh at the pee story! Does...Laura, I did have to laugh at the pee story! Does Steven nap in just a diaper and not a onesie? Just asking. Question for you so that I don't have to go back and read through all your posts... I know you primarily nursed/breastfed, but Tegan is starting to more-or-less refuse his bottles. He'll drink most of his first morning bottle (so take about 4-5 oz) and leave 1-2 oz which I mix with his cereal. Then, at lunch he'll take about 1/2 (so 3 oz) and now only taking about 1-1 1/2 oz of his 3p.m. bottle. Still takes all of his bedtime bottle. I do offer them before solid food so that he'll get the milk he needs first... Did you experience anything like this with Steven? Thanks!!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210447847141222637noreply@blogger.com
