Daytime naps

AlwaysAforeigner

Now that some of our babies are over 6 weeks old and some are getting there, here's a little guide that might help you ladies get this whole daytime naps issue sorted out. It really helped me with DD1 and I plan on following it this time too:

I'm having a hard time with her schedule this go around because I have to drive DD1 to school and it hits her window and it's just messing her all up so she ends up being awake way too long and crabby. It was so much easier with just 1 kid!

Yeah, I know what you mean, @nesenotes. Does DD2 have a rough time falling asleep in the car?

Yes and when (if) she does, I then have to pull her out and strap her in the Ergo to walk #1 in and sign her in, then put her back in the car seat to go home and by then she's been handled too much and is up! So by the time I get back home, feed her, start all over its been 4 hours she's up. Yikes!

On days we are home I notice she falls into the 2 hr rule easier.

@nesenotes‌ -- any chance you could use car seat and snap n go stroller instead of ergo when taking DD1 to class?

I think it'd be too hard. There are a lot of times she has to poo or throw a fit or do god knows what when we get in there so I like having my hands free. And there are stairs so that would suck.

Makes sense, sorry you're having to deal with that.
