7 month old won't sleep in the day

My 5 year old has never slept the night through and I was lucky to get her to nap. I've just gotten used to it and dream of someday our family all sleeping hte whole night through! I think all kids are different but if they snore I would suggest getting a sleep study done.

With my cousin, she wouldn't take naps unless someone was resting beside her while she was falling asleep.

Maybe your daughter is not comfortable because of the heat and maybe because of the teeth that's coming out. Try to put some cold jellies in his gum so it can ease some pain. I have also 11 months old baby and didn't encounter like your problem. My baby wakes up at 7am and i let him take to the park and i took him a bath after and fed him at 9am he will sleep and wakes up at 12 lunchtime i gave him food and after two hours my baby will take a nap and will wake up at 4pm and i will bring again my son to park and let him walk for a few hours. at 7pm i gave him dinner and after that he can play for 1 hour and sleep after that he will wake up again at morning. My husband and i can sleep with no crying of my baby. You have to do the schedule of waking up of your baby and let him play so she will get tired and fell asleep. Or let you baby to see a doctor maybe she have problem in sleeping.

I would make sure that the house is quiet during the time you are trying to get her to take a nap. Do some type of quiet and relaxing activity before nap time. My daughter is a good napper most days. She usually naps best about 2-3 hours after she wakes up in the morning. Her naps range from 1-3 hours depending on how active she has been already in the day. Good Luck!

Establish a routine, something soothing that will help her wind down. Read a story, turn the lights low. Play some music softly, and lay her down at the same time every day. Make sure she has eaten and has a dry diaper. The temperature should be about the same as what is comfortable for you. If she does not go to sleep, that's ok. Let her lay in her crib. Once you establish the routine, she may sleep better. Do it for a week or two, the same, at the same time, for instance after lunch. She will start to learn that these activities are leading to nap time. Does she seem fussy on the days she doesn't sleep? If not then maybe she just doesn't need the nap. Most babies do, but some don't. If she seems happy and is getting good sleep at night then it's ok to skip the nap. But leaving her in her crib at naptime is good for her to rest, even if she doesn't sleep.
