Do you know when your baby naps

They are only a newborn once, enjoy it! Plenty of time for routine and structure down the line.

I use an app to track feeds and diapers and sleeping schedule

Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty! Chances are you’ll get a much longer nap if they sleep on you than in the cot. Personally I would wait until after the 4 month sleep regression to start putting them down for naps as if they have a bad regression you’ll just go back to contact naps anyway. Enjoy every single one because before you know it there over ❤️

My girl does one hour awake one and a half- two hour asleep all day at nine weeks so she’ll be up usually 6:30-7:30 and go from there. Usually lines up for night time to start 7:30-8:30 ish. She never sleeps alone, always on me or her dad xx

People made me feel the same with my first baby and I regret not holding her more so much. This time round, she does do all naps in her cot when I have my toddler too but when my toddlers at nursery, I don’t put my newborn down - we contact nap on the couch or in the carrier. Sleep breeds sleep, just get the sleep for them however that looks x

Don't let people make you feel bad, newborns are meant to be held! That's not to say anyone should feel bad for putting them down for naps, that's fine too, but naturally they are meant to be held. We're carrier mammals like apes and orangutans etc and they have their babies on them at all times. It's just society they says we should be putting them down so we can get back to the rat race and do a million other things. I was worrying too and tracking his sleep on an app and started trying to put him down one nap a day, but it was causing more stress for us both and didn't work for us. I then deleted the app and stopped worrying about his naps and I feel so much better. As long as I'm paying attention to his sleep cues and getting him to sleep when he's ready, I don't care when he sleeps! They're too young at this age for any proper routine/sleep schedule. I think until after the 4 month sleep regression I'm just going to go with the flow.

Thanks so much everyone this really helps ❤️❤️❤️
