Naps - self soothe

Following! Can only get my little one to nap for 30 mins too 🙈

Mine only naps 30 mins exactly as well but always has 😫

omg, it's absolutely exhausting isn't it. You just never get a break!

My daughter always contact naps at home but when she went to nursery she sleeps in the cot.

They start a new association at nursery ie they know that there they lay in the cot etc and sleep.

Was there much crying involved? I feel like we need to do something for my sanity, but I can't bear to hear her cry.

you really don’t, 30 mins flies by 😕

that’s interesting, I don’t use sleep sack for naps but do keep the room dark, white noise etc. do you go to any classes , like baby sensory etc? We go to a class 3 times a week at different times so her naps are all over the place around the class times.
Did she settle ok when you left her? Two weeks isn’t too bad is it, lots of determination, thanks for your reply xxx

Hi Charlotte, I’ve found the best way is to settle him to sleep in my arms and then transfer once he’s been asleep for 5 mins. It might take you a couple of attempts.
Eventually the aim is he will be able to be put in cot and just have a back rub and little song but we’re not there yet! Some naps still don’t always go to plan though so take it one at a time xx

Thanks Laura 🥰

Ours will only sleep in a moving buggy or occasionally a moving car. Every now and then I’ll try a cot nap but more often than not he’ll wake as soon as I put him down (I can’t put him in there awake). My daughter was self soothing and putting herself to sleep by this point so it’s frustrating as I don’t think we’ve done anything differently this time around

that’s the exact same that happens to us, really frustrating x

Will try the sleep sack during the day then too, thanks! We tend to do that too, we had a class today which was right over her nap time and I thought she’d be grumpy but wasn’t too bad and stayed awake until we got home lol just! X
