Nap Sleep Training Advice Needed
Show your support
I rock and sing You Are My Sunshine to my little boy and once I see that his eyes have gone heavy I pop him into his cot, give him a few pats and carry on singing to him and within minutes he's asleep. My little boy is 9 months and being honest I can't see him getting himself to sleep any time soon but I'm cherishing the time of putting him to sleep as one day he won't want/need me to get him to sleep anymore
I still rock my 11 month old to sleep for naps, but honestly I don't mind at all, because as long as I hit the sweet spot for sleep, she'll go down within 5 minutes so it takes no time out of my day at all, and she'll reliably nap for at least 40. She also prefers the crib over contact napping. I don't see the need to change it. One day she'll sleep on her own, and rocking her is the only time I really get for cuddles. 😅 Side note: @Sammi my husband also sings You Are My Sunshine to our little girl! The Dead South does a really good rendition of it. 😄
Loving all these suggestions! Appreciate you all! ❤️❤️❤️ I love rocking my boy to sleep, I just have to get back to working from home soon & wonder how it will work while working but he’ll be another month older when that happens (5 months) so I’m hoping his wake window naps by then will improve in their own. Even if I just keep doing the same thing 🤷🏻♀️🤞
Following because same ! My baby is a month older and only naps in my arms or in the carrier. I thought if I keep trying to put him down but he will wake up and won’t go back to sleep so after weeks of that I give up 🥹 I have a friend who said at 6 month her baby just rather sleep in the crib for naps rather than contact naps. So now I’m cherishing the contact naps 😂
