Does your toddler do this (13-14 months)

DH, DS and I were out shopping this morning at around 11am. DS was due for lunch at 11.30am and a sleep at 12pm.
Anyway we were in this health shop for around 10 minutes as Dh was talking to the shop worker and DS just closed his eyes and fell asleep in sitting up position. It was so cute and funny. I just said "Oh no, he still has to have his lunch!!"

What would your toddler have done if tired (and bored) at the shops...

* Fall asleep in the pram

* Cry/Scream/Winge etc until taken home for lunch/sleep

If he was in the pram, he'd probably just fall asleep. He might grizzle for a bit, but more often than not, he'll just go to sleep.

Scream most likely. Actually, by that age no, fall asleep. Sleep for 10-15 mins. Then be awake for the rest of the day thinking he had had his sleep. The short nap is my worst nightmare.

My DD will start to get a bit grizzly if its lunch or sleep time. She rarely sleeps in the pram when we are shopping. If we set out to go for a walk however in the freshair, she'll fall asleep straight away...if its sleep time.
I think i can count on one hand the amount of times she has fallen asleep in the pram while shopping.

If he's in the ergo, he will fall asleep instantly. If in the pram, he might get a little grumbly but he doesn't scream.

Mine would have fallen asleep too. Still does and he's 2.

My worst nightmare too! I caught him just in time, so I quickly took him home for lunch and now he just woke after a 3 hr sleep.

Hell no!! DD will only sleep in her bed she has NEVER "just" fallen asleep!!

DD would have screamed till I took her home.

If in ergo - slept for a full sleep cycle but if I had taken her in a pram - screamed until she was in said ergo. I never leave home without it - no ergo and cat naps are my worst nightmares! lol
