I feel like every nap is a fight with my LO. If we aren't in the car or stroller, it is a struggle to get him down (he's 7 weeks). We try swaddling, and holding him, rocking, and he will just cry and cry and cry some times...I don't want to always have to resort to nursing him to sleep. Any ideas? Tips??
Re: What's your nap routine?
If he's not in the carrier or the car he won't sleep. And putting him down gets me maybe half an hour.
I baby wear so I can do things. But I would love to have some nap here and there in his bed where I can put him drowsy and walk away. One day. I hope.
How's nighttime for you?
The routine will come later.

Two weeks ago, LO decided she didn't want to nap anymore. Now (6w) she's back to sleeping during the day. She's been making me nervous that she won't sleep at night bc she's Taking 3-4 hr naps. I'm guessing this means we are (somewhat) through the infamous 6 wk growth spurt.
I've been putting her down based on her cues. She eays for awhile... Usually 40 ish minutes, then plays on her mat, tummy time or just looking around until she starts to fuss. Then we swaddle and rock/bounce her to sleep. She sleeps in her RnP for naps and is out in our living area (in light and everyday noise around her). I'm hoping this differentiates nap sleep from night sleep.
Is it better to just go by her cues or start aiming for a clock-based schedule?
