Contact nap only 12 week old

Yes we were the same. I managed to get him in his cot for naps at 7 months.
I just gave it a go one day when I was feeling patient.

Yes - we moved past this I’d say before he hit 4 months. On days where I had the energy I would put him down for at least 1 nap in his cot. I would rock the cot and sing to him - sometimes it would take half an hour 🤯 but it is all worth it in the end. I think that being out and about some days where he would have to fall asleep in his pram helped him be able to sleep on his own too.

We only contact naps for 4 months. The other day I randomly tried in the crib for the first nap of the day and she slept for 45 mins. She’s now done this 3 times with no problem. I took this as reassurance she can do it and am back to contact napping because I want to make the most of the cuddles!

Don’t worry- they don’t do it forever! X

@Lena my little one is 13 weeks tomorrow and exactly the same x

I contact napped til my LO was 9months old hd to break the cycle when I was going back to work, MIL made it hard but I persevered it will work just give it time x

We contact napped during the day until recently, LO is 6 months. She now will have some naps in her crib and some in the pushchair. Some are still contact naps coz we both love the cuddles. X

I've just managed to get my little one to sleep in his crib, I noticed he was getting sleepy so I popped him into his sleep sack in his crib, put the white noise on and put my hand on his tummy. He then put himself to sleep 🙂 I'm definitely going to miss the contact naps but it's nice being able to actually get things done

I ve been contact napping for about 10-11 months. I still start naps with my 13 months old but now I can easily escape from it.

We contact napped until 13 months when my son was dropping to one nap and too big to hold for 2+ hours 😅 Don't get me wrong, it was also my choice to go that long as I enjoyed the cuddles, but we did have to do a bit of minor sleep training in the end to help him be able to sleep on his own without so much reliance on me/the boob/rocking etc.

I did contact naps until about 5 months. Then I did sleep training because I was starting to go crazy.

This is my situation and thought process at the moment. Only contact naps during the day but yes nights thankfully does sleep in the cot x
Since yesterday had started sleeping first nap of the day 30-45mins set down next to me but not in his cot.
