Naps

My baby for naps in a bright room so she knows is day time, she only naps a long nap if is contact nap, otherwise she doesn't sleep much. She has a little nap in the morning, and evening and a long nap in the afternoon. As soon she rubs her eyes I know she is tired and I just feed her and wait for half and hour and then put her for a nap. I only rock her to sleep for night time otherwise I just pat her bum till she falls asleep

Roughly after an hour and a half wake window. If we're at home, in cot with sleeping bag and white noise on. If we're out, in car seat or buggy. Normally had 3 longer naps and a short nap to bridge the gap to bedtime

Sleepy cues, rocking, daylight/ around noise x

Fed or rocked to sleep, 4 naps a day, usually contact naps but occasionally falls asleep on play mat. Carrier naps on the go as hates the pram. Occasionally sleeps in car seat. Always daylight x

It depends on your babies age! When my boy was a newborn, he’d nap anywhere, anytime with no problem. As he’s become more aware of his surroundings and noise, he naps in a dark room with a noise machine (rain, white noise etc) - we started this change just before 3 months old as he started fighting his naps and bedtime. We will occasionally contact nap if he falls asleep whilst nursing and I don’t need to do anything like eat or shower whilst he naps.
I no longer rock to sleep as I read that once they reach 3 months, they start to form sleep association. I didn’t want to have to continue to rock him to sleep as he gets bigger and heavier so I nurse which makes him sleepy then burp and put him down onto his side in cot drowsy and pat his bum and shush him until he falls asleep.
