Tips for putting baby down in the day please!

Not really any tips as such but my little one falls asleep feeding, until last week I couldn’t get him down but he’s done 5 naps in his cot in the last week. All id say is keep persevering, I didn’t do anything different and we’re seeing some little wins!

Might not work with all babies but with mine I feed her til she’s ‘falling’ asleep and then unlatch her and put her down drowsy but awake - sometimes she fusses for 5/10 mins but usually works x

I had this so started feeding my daughter in bed in a dark room with white noise. I feed her in the side position and she unlatches and lies flat on the bed. I’m still a bit trapped because I need to stay in the bed or at least the room but she doesn’t need to be physically on me. It’s not quite what you’re wanting but I’ve found it a helpful option.

I'm trying something new today. I know he doesn't sleep as long on his travel cot and has serious FOMO so getting him to sleep is a nightmare.
So I'm starting it off as a contact nap for the minimum amount of time I know he needs to be asleep for at the time of day (morning tends to last about 30 minutes, lunchtime an hour, then afternoon about 2 hours) in theory this at least guarantees me parts of the day when I can sit down and have cuddles.
Then after the typical amount of time I transfer him into the cot. Figuring if he wakes up then he's been asleep for a good amount of time, if he doesn't I have a few minutes to go to the loo, grab food/drink and maybe even squeeze in a quick tidy up.

Not sure how it's going to go but for me it's the best of both worlds, I get to spend time with him he gets the naps in and I can maybe get a little mummy free time which I need on occasion for my sanity

I’d love to know as well. I have to contact nap and sometimes have to keep walking with mine as everytime I try to put her down my noisy toddler wakes her up 😂🙈 on a very rare day the both nap at the same time so I just put her down next to me on the sofa I always make sure her bum touches first then the rest of her so she doesn’t wake up. X

I had thought about trying this - maybe I’ll give it a go and might get her used to sleeping not on me!! Thank you

that’s always my worry that she’ll get over tired if she wakes up and doesn’t get a decent sleep so that’s a good idea! Hope it’s been working okay for you

we've done it on and off. I would say a 50% success rate but I managed to get my kitchen clean during one of them and was able to gently wake him on another when he actually slept too long and I needed to get him up as he wouldn't have gone to bed otherwise. It's a process
