I agree with Dana on the quiet time, we still do that with our 3 yr old almost every day. We are to the point he will only actually sleep once a week or so, but he needs a rest. Even if he doesn't sleep he is in a better mood later that night then if he played the whole nap time. He always falls asleep in the car too when he's tired. I dread nap/bed time too b/c he and our 6 mo old share a room. We have to put her in our room for naps and then for bed until he is asleep and then we move her to her crib. I also do the nap in the carseat thing- she slept in it for 3 hrs last week- oops! :) My kids both loved to nap in the swing at home, maybe try that while baby is little. They also loved to comfort nurse to sleep, my 6 month old still does most naps and bedtime. I wish she would put herself to sleep more, but its prob my fault. Def get some soft music for baby to get used to- LOVE this soothe seahorse I got for my girl after reading great reviews on it. She loves it too. I've seen at any store with toys. Plays 5 min of nice calm music and glows. Just keep trying, you will get through it!
