He never slept until he was about 5 months old, so we just went anyway. Now that he sleeps (though STILL not on any real schedule), my husband and I have been taking turns. One stays home while he naps and one goes to church. <br /><br />I know it is just a season and hopefully something will change soon to allow us toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452802329695708276.post-85490328124685270062009-08-06T15:28:37.881-04:002009-08-06T15:28:37.881-04:00My baby is 7 months old and absolutely LOVES the e...My baby is 7 months old and absolutely LOVES the ergo carrier.

We fight to keep him awake and then I let him sleep in the sling during church - worship always puts him right to sleep.

Most Sundays I would get her up early (6 to 7 am) and then she'd nap once before we left for church (at 10 am) and once we got home.<br /><br />It is an incredibly difficult juggling act that takes sacrifice and planning.<br /><br />Good luck finding what works for your family.

When they were small, both of my children would nap on the way to or from church, and then not nap at home. With my first child especially, Sundays just seemed unbearable!

But, this will pass! Eventually, you can eliminate the morning nap and work his afternoon nap to start right after church. My kids still don't eat lunch after church. We come straight home and get them in bed! Great word Hollie!

If he misses a nap, he is impossible for the rest of the day and will get up several times that night.<br /><br />For me, it is just not worth the heartache, but I really miss church. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
