Where does your baby nap?

[shawnabm1320]

I'm wondering where you have your babies napping during the day, especially those of you with other kids in the house. I think our magical period of LO sleeping through everything is coming to an end. She's been really struggling to fall asleep during the day when her brother is awake and around.

Either in the pnp (which is in the living room) or on me. I'm not opposed to her sleeping in the swing, but she doesn't last very long there.

Either the bouncer or the RnP if I need to put him down. I'll carry it into the nursery & shut the door (connected to living room) if DD is home & playing so he can nap in quiet. I just set the monitor up so I can keep an eye on him. He also naps on me a lot when DD is at the babysitters.

Usually on one of us, in the RnP, or in the swing! (It's only one day in, but she seems to like the Mamaroo...knock on wood.)

I think this is where we're headed. I just feel guilty because DS wouldn't sleep anywhere but on me for the first 6 months of his life, so I'm feeling irrationally guilty about putting her in the nursery and shutting the door. Like she's not getting enough cuddles or something. Funny, because I would have sold my left leg to have a kid who napped anywhere but on me when DS was a newborn 😂

Both my babies would nap in the bouncy chair. DD1, fortunately only needed the vibration turned on. DD2 needs constant foot bouncing, so it's not quite as effective. Sometimes she'll nap in her crib, though, so it works out.

Rocker seats. Once they have actual schedules they'll nap in their cribs.

[billybumbler]

In his crib in the nursery (I shut the door and use the monitor if DD is being very loud), in the bouncy chair or in bed with me.

He takes his best naps in his crib. I'm actually thinking of putting him in there at night too, but I'm not sure I'm ready to move him out of our room yet. DS1 always napped on me or in the same room as me, so this is different. We never used his nursery until 3/4 months!

[oldbaylover1024]

Usually on one of us or in the vibrating bouncy chair. Sometimes he'll nap in the mamaroo, but rarely.

[notagoddess]

On me, in a baby carrier, on a newborn lounger pillow, or in the Mamaroo. I like to keep her in sight at all times because I can't distinguish early feeding cues from the noises she makes while sleeping.

[flyinghorses6]

She kinda sleeps all over. Swing, on dad or me, on her belly on the couch. I'm sure I could put her in her crib, but we really aren't upstairs during the day.

[ellabee]

Swing, carrier...car seat if I'm out running errands or dropping DD off somewhere. I have a feeling I'm setting B and his daycare teachers up for a rough start since they have to put them in packnplays for naps, but they'll figure it out. I'm so much less concerned with B than I was with DD. #secondchildsyndrome

Usually in the mamaroo or on me. With DD1 we started to use the crib for naps around 8 weeks and will do that again.

Is anyone's LO sleeping in the crib at night?

MH would be really happy if I would put C in the pnp at night instead of giving up and cosleeping. 😬 We're soooo not ready for the crib yet. (I do plan on trying the pnp this week. I just give in too easily at the first wakeup...)

Not yet, she has been in the bassinet since night one home. We moved DD1 at 8 weeks and I am targeting then for DD2 as well. 

[shellbell]

We will move to the crib around 3mo. Probably.

[littleredfish]

Kind of everywhere and anywhere. On us, bouncy chair, PnP, our bed. He's sometimes bothered by his sisters being loud, but he's still at a point where he's sleeping through a lot. Once he's not I'll keep him more behind a closed door for regular naps.

He would be sleeping in a crib at night, but DD2 is using our only crib and I didn't want to buy a 2nd one for our last baby. He'll be in the PnP until he's too big for it and then we'll be forced to transition DD2 to a bed. I'd for some reason we need to extend his time in the PnP we'll just remove the bassinet and use the play pen. He's so big I don't know how much time we'll have in it.

Mine, from day one. I don't own a bassinet or swing so crib it is.

[allisong87]

Usually on me or in our fisher price soothing motions seat.

[ls2012]

Wherever I need her to, but on me is pretty frequent since it's just easier to keep an eye on her and get things done while babywearing. She has napped successfully on her play mat, lounger, bouncy chair, and crib, the latter two being upstairs and used only at night or when I need to shower. We don't have a rnp or pnp.

[crazycatlady6]

R either sleeps in the crib or bassinet. He is doing the pnp for the first time tonight and sleeping like a rockstar so far. FX it stays this way!

On me after nursing or sometimes in their swings. Swings are in the living room and the RnPs are in my room. We got tired of bringing them up and down every day.

[cosmicav]

Usually on me.

She doesn't like to cuddle on DH. Sometimes she will sleep in the swing but it's really short lived. :/ the future is ominous
