Prayers needed

Need prayers desperately.

Candra has a serious problem of refusing to nap. Though she has less problems with sleeping at night, she sleeps really little in the day at her age.

Since her birth, other than the first 2 weeks when she was drowsy most of the time, she has had problems with daytime naps. The confinement lady also mentioned that she seems to fight off sleep quite a bit.

We feel that she fights off sleep because she is very active and playful. She has a huge ability to stay alert during the day. We often find her waking up from very short naps (20 - 45mins ONLY). That's really insufficient.

I have come to realise that I have to be very firm with her, even to the extent of showing her my displeasure when she refuses to nap her full nap. She is in a sense undergoing obedience training already. When she disobeys, I will allow her to cry for 10 - 15mins before going into her room to ensure that she continues to nap.

She seems to understand what I am doing, but the training process will still take a while.

I struggle on a daily basis, asking myself whether my training method is really going to work. Need prayers. :(
