Getting out of contact naps

I’m still contact napping too 😬

I chose one nap to start with which was the first nap of the day and I started by settling Noah in the crib with patting, shushing, rubbing his nose. I didn’t put too much pressure on myself for it to work. If it worked great, if not no problem. I gave myself 20 minutes to try and settle him in his crib and if he didn’t sleep then I would take him out and calm him down and get him to sleep then transfer him. Gradually he then started to be calm with settling in his crib and I gradually reduced my help with getting him to sleep. But there are still times where I have to help him sleep and his naps aren’t great still 30-50 minutes sometimes an hour if I’m lucky but hopefully as he gets older, his naps will get longer. Sometimes I have to transfer him and help him but if you want to stop helping completely then consistency is key for it.

I need help with this too 😭 literally just put her down for her to wake straight back up again 😭

It’s hit and miss sometimes. One time you can put in the basket and will sleep other times he won’t sleep even in the pram. At 4 months we still have 4 naps between feeds.
