Confident dad refuses to let baby girl skip her nap
Who said daddies can't do it all?
Parents should never discount the value of a nap and its benefits for their child's demeanour, not to mention mom and dad's peace of mind.
But it's not always easy to get your child to nap. Sometimes, it takes trying several methods before finding the one that works. Some babies enjoy white noise, while others love to be nestled close to their parents' bodies.
It's an old misconception to assume that only mommies hold the magic touch when it comes to making babies sleep. Daddies have just as big a say as mommies do.

This 'girl dad' deserves big props for having the confidence to get his baby girl to nap.
He wrapped her on his back with a towel and rocked her to sleep like a pro. We loved his attitude because being confident is half the work in getting your kids to nap.
As your kids grow, naps may fall away, but encouraging them to nap can make a world of difference in their mood and how they process their surroundings. This could also help them as they grow confident in sleeping alone.
