3hr nap in Ktan vs 30-45 mins in crib...WHAT???

I decided to put DD in the Ktan because I know she sleeps a bit better in it and we had a rough morning.  Holy cow she has now been sleeping for 3 hrs now.  

I am worried though because when I put her in her crib she will sleep for 1hr max.  So, is she not getting enough sleep while in the crib??  Is there anything I can do to help her sleep better in the crib.  She doesn't even nap in the swing anymore like she used to.

She is still swaddled, we use white noise, dark room. I usually rock her to sleep and set her in her crib, i've tried rubbing belly while drowsy in  the crib but she ends up fully awake and crying..

Any advice? and should i wake her soon??

  • Just like Dr. Harvey Karp describes in his book "Happiest Baby on the Block" your LO loves feeling like in the womb again! I don't think you should worry about her taking a long nap while in the Ktan, that's normal. But, as for napping in the crib, we've been battling that too. Usually my LO wakes up after 20 minutes, so you're lucky to getting 1hr!! I put her back to sleep after she wakes up and can usually get another 30 min, but only about once per day. I jut let her take shorter naps more frequently. IDK if it's best or not...
