Nap Life Balance??

laurel9876

My baby is 3.5 months, still doing mostly contact naps but starting to work on first nap independent. He will take short naps in car seat. Lately he’s been fighting naps (even while showing sleepy cues) but will eventually give in when rocked with either white noise or bath tub running. Needless to say my husband and I are home most of the day. I keep seeing/hearing people say things like “don’t let their nap schedule run your life.”… but I’m not sure how not to. If I try to bring him out with me it’ll result in shorter/crappier naps and then he’s very angry and screams when over tired and it sends me into a stress spiral. Anyone have any thoughts here?

You could try the Huckleberry app! I had a hard time reading my 3 month olds sleep queues or would forget to put her down for a nap. Its helped remind me when a nap was coming up so I could get her ready for one. Hope that helps!
