14 month old wont nap

She wake up about 8 or nine i try to put her down at 1 but she will scream for hours so she wont have to nap i dont know what to do

Have you tried laying with her and rocking her gently/patting her bum while shushing her? Thats the only way both my 7 month old daughter and my now 8 yr old nephew would ever nap for me. I was shushing my nephew until he was almost 3 to take naps!

Try something that projects a picture onto theicieling..i have a fisherprice starfish thigns and it puts an ocean scene onto the ceiling..is cute, and it plays music and the sound of waves.

yea sometime we put little cloth books in with her so if she wont sleep she will play and fall asleep it only works half the time

its not like on the floor in his arms he will rock her for 5 min and then stops cause shes mad

he trys to swaddle her thats how she use to sleep but now forget it she wont have it

She's 14 months, she will sleep when she's tired I wouldn't force a nap at all. My 13 month sometimes doesn't nap, and sometimes she'll take 2...it just depends. Bring your LO outside and give them lots of stimulation and thungs to do to try and tire them out

So what does she do when you put her in her crib and shut the door? does she just cry?

Maybe shes just not tired? If she is and shes just fighting it, try to get her in a nice little routine. Like a specific place with a specific blanket. Maybe a teddy bear, read her a book and make sure its quiet in your house. Or u could also play some lullabies.

she has a blanket she carries so maybe ill give her quiet time 30 min before so it wont be so hard

agree with this. a routine is great to have. we also use a white noise machine. . My son has to have his pacifier and his blanket as well, and i dont lay him down until he starts rubbing his eyes.

That sounds good, like a little calm down time before nap. I think swaddling is more for newborns/young infants. Trying to do that probably makes her more mad than anything at the age she is now. Also since your not against crying it out i would suggest slowly extending the intervals that you check on her. If shes know ur just gonna come back in 10 minutes she might keep up the crying longer.
