Babies: 3 - 6 Months

how to get your baby to nap

Just need some advice on how to get your baby to sleep/nap. I've read about the Ferber method and wasn't able to do it because I just cannot let her cry. Any tricks or methods that you may have? Or anyone who was able to find Ferber method useful?

    I still nurse/rock to sleep for every nap. 

    I haven't read it, but if you aren't a fan of CIO, I know the author of the No Cry Sleep Solution also has a book called the No Cry Nap Solution.

  • If you figure it out, let me know. ;) I used to be able to put her down drowsy but awake in her crib, but lately it's the swing or the boob. I choose the swing. I fear the day it stops working.

  • I put him in his vibrating seat with a paci and then turn on the 'ocean' setting on the "baby crack" machine.

    Works every time  ;)

    I generally like you, but now I hate you. Just kidding! Stick out tongue

    We do the swing too, or I nurse her down in my bed. A handful of times she's slept on her own in the crib or Pnp but never more than a 1/2 hr. The swing is a guaranteed 1 1/2 hr nap. I just hope she gets into a routine of napping. I'm still waiting...
