DD takes super short naps and fights the whole time going down. we started letting her hold our hands when she naps and she started to sleep for 30 to 45 minutes. now whens she is tired we can hand her anything and she will drift off. usually a rolled up blankets or her rag doll. does anyone elses kiddo do this? we only do this during nap time when we can watch her she sleeps fine at night with no help.

We've been noticing this same thing! We put a small stuffed animal on her belly and she passes out with it... We only do it when she's in the swing though... At what age is it okay to put a lovie in the crib? I'm guessing we have awhile yet...

I think we might just have to try something like this with DD2. She doesn't go down for naps easily and doesn't sleep long either.

I specifically chose a certain blanket while pregnant for this very reason. It's soft and cuddly, but is kind of knitted looking with small holes. This way when she snuggles it it isn't completely cutting off her breathing if it got around get nose. DS ha

I'm so glad you posted this. LO started doing this a while ago in her car seat. Then we noticed she needed it for most naps. Once she gets our hand its aost impossible to get it back. Even in her sleep she will grip harder if you try to move it. My mom no
