Napping poll

[athn64]

Someone asked for a poll. So click away. You can choose as many as you like.

I'm just curious as to everyone's current arrangements. I feel like I should be transitioning DD2 to the crib, but she won't have it.

So she likes to sleep in my arms. But I can put her down on her belly in the pack n play. She has had some solid naps in there.

He sleeps in his bassinet most often for naps. But all of the above pertains. Sometimes if I want a nap too we'll nurse on our sides and then fall asleep in my bed together for a hour or two.

He's napping in his bassinet right now. Last night I needed cuddles so I held him for a few hours while I watched tv and then I put him in his bassinet. He's mesmerized by his mobile above the crib so he mostly just hangs out kicking in there, jamming to the music but occasionally well put him to sleep in there.

Life is better with naps during the day. Yesterday we were busy and I didn't make time for a nap until nearly his bedtime so he was very cranky and screamy. If he gets in 1 or 2 good naps a day he's a happy baby. I think he sleeps better when I'm not holding him, too.

Yassss, clicky.

I get one good nap in the RNP. The trick is knowing which one to transition, because if it's not the right time, he'll just wake up. Usually it's in the morning. So we have a lot of arm/half on the nursing pillow naps.

Naps are pretty much in my arms or the carrier! But if she sleeps on me then she sleeps well on her own at night so I'll take it. I keep trying to put her down in her crib, but she won't stay asleep. Eventually she will sleep in her crib... At least I will keep trying!

[athn64]

We're pretty much in the swing or bouncer or car seat. She'll nap in the carrier when we're out and about, but doesn't want to be worn at home and DD1 is too rough for me to wear her here often anyways.

I've tried the crib and she'll occasionally give me 20-30 minutes in it, but mama needs longer naps. Lol

First and best nap of the day is in the crib. After that it's a mix of crib, carrier, car seat and stroller.

[Stringy]

As long as she's swaddled or moving this one will nap anywhere. First of day is best and I try to do the crib but that's often when we are out and about. But seriously she loves the swaddle and it's all that calms her sometimes.

[woodengirl07]

She will nap anywhere if by nap you mean sleep for three to five minutes. Lol. She prefers arms or car seat after a ride falling asleep on the car.

[babyzebra]

She'll sleep in my arms, her pack n play occasionally, the ergo, her car seat, and the play mat. She doesn't sleep for very long though. Only when she's in the ergo does she nap for an hour or more. Everything else is 20 minutes here and there.

[txmommy14]

Baby k'tan. That is basically it.

[Kevinmac]

I have him nap on his side on a pillow or Boppy with me watching him or in the Rock n play if I want to get stuff done-although he has been waking up a lot when I move him. I tried the crib, and he woke up immediately. I'm going to try the crib again. I need a bigger swaddle to try.

[sandandsea]

DS will nap in the napper that came with the pack n play, a blanket on the floor, or in my arms. I try not to hold him though.

[mladerri]

We're a mix of bassinet, swing, ergo, my arms, dh's arms (he sleeps really well on dh). I don't have him nap in the rnp anymore because I'm weaning myself off of it.

Naps in her crib, Swaddled in the miracle blanket.
She's so noise sensitive, being in her room the only way she'll sleep.

This sounds magical. Do you have to make sure she's totally asleep before you put her down?
