When did your baby stop contact napping? My son is 21 weeks old and still only contact naps. He won’t go down for a nap at all. He sleeps in his next to me at bedtime but not during the day he wakes up straight away.
Was anyone else’s baby the same? What did you do to change it? I don’t mind the contact naps at all I love that he only sleeps on me. However I’m sick of not being able to get anything done during the day when I’m on my own.

7.5 months before I could reliably put her down for a nap in her cot. Sometimes when she was younger could put her down in a Moses basket but it was quickly outgrown. Or she’d have pram naps and stay sleeping a bit once we got home.

Since about 11 weeks, my LO will only sleep in her bassinet. She won't contact nap anymore. She was attached to be before, and suddenly, one day, it all changed. I longed for her to have a bassinet nap, but now all I wish for is a contact nap. I wanted time to get things done, but when she is down, I just stare at her on the monitor and still get nothing done 🫠. She's 3 and half months, so I'm expecting the regression to hit and contact naps might become a thing again.

My baby is about to turn 9 months and she's only just started sleeping in her cot for naps 🙂 it's also not every nap. Some are still contact x

We still contact nap at 41wks. He will sleep in his cot if I can get him up there. I know they won't last forever so soaking them up
