Contact naps! Help
Show your support
Hi. My baby is about 11 weeks old and also really loves contact naps. I usually let him fall asleep on me, then transfer him into a sleep suit/swaddle shortly after, then rock him again until he falls asleep, then transfer him into his crib. It’s been working really well for us!
My girl is the same. I lay her down on a soft warm blanket after she passes out on the boob and that seems to work, or go out for a walk in a carrier, she passes out nice and warm and I'll transfer her
Me too, but he is starting to fight even the contact naps
My baby is the same. He takes his first nap on his crib, but he doesn’t sleep well like when I am holding him
@Clarissa okay how long do you wait before transferring into the crib?
I swaddle and stick him in the bassinet. Sometimes he fusses but he does fall asleep.
@Lindsay as soon as I see that he’s about to fall asleep I put him in his sleep suit, then rock him for about 10 mins before transferring!
My little girl is the same. I can put her down for bed at night but heaven forbid I try to not contact nap during the day!
@Michelle seriously… yea lol
My baby is the same . She is 11 weeks and during the day loves to contact nap with me only . With my parents she sleeps on a blanket rolled up in a U during the day
My LO is the same. Following.
