I hope that you can find something that works Kate. Sometimes even a power nap from them can recharge your own batteries. I know I get exhausted if she doesn't nap in the day! And it does happen for us too, especially because she has reflux and lying down is an issue for her sometimes when her heartburn is particularly bad.

I don't get stressed about her naps any more (I used to.... man, I used to!) and just go with the flow. If it takes 10 minutes to get her over then great, if it takes 30 then that is fine too. We usually just lie and "chat" or I read her a quiet story. Missy gets really really cranky if she hasn't had nap and even 15 minutes can see her happy again!!
