nap time

lilmissmuffin12

so in the next few weeks i want to get LO into her crib at night. so i figured id start doing naps in her crib since currently she either naps in her swing or her rocker.  but im curious if i should turn out the lights just like at night or just dim them or what. what do you ladies do?? im super stressed about moving her to her crib but i figure if we can get naps in there it might help the transition

I pull the shades and turn off the lights, but leave her door wide open so she can hear the daytime sounds in the house and so a little light gets in.

Yeah that's about what we do. There's enough light coming in from his blinds even if they're closed, and it's fairly noisy in our neighborhood. We got him sleeping in his crib I think at 2 months old.. that baby-monitor was clutched by my side for the first while!!

I'm doing the same thing, and I make the room as dark as possible. I also shut the door (and use the baby monitor) because my dog loves to bark like crazy all day long. I also use a white noise machine to block out noises like the phone ringing or the tv in the living room.

I'm stressed about stopping nighttime co-sleeping, too. Good luck with naptime!
