Co-sleeping and nap time
Co-sleeping mommas, where does your little one nap? My DD used to nap in a swing or PiP, but now that I work nights, we usually nap together. I'm pregnant with my 2nd, so we won't be able to nap together once this baby comes. So my question is- where does your little one nap if you co-sleep/ bed share at night?

Re: Co-sleeping and nap time
I nurse DS down for his nap on the floor bed in his room. I have a twin sized mattress on the floor and a crib mattress next to it as kind of a step to make it easier for him to get on and off. I can snooze with him if I want, or when he is good and asleep I roll away and go about my business. I used to nurse him down in our bed, but since he's gotten very mobile I feel safer with the floor bed. An added bonus is that sometimes he'll wake up and just go play with his toys for a couple minutes before he whines for me to come get him. I have a video monitor so I can see what he is doing, and since his room is completely baby-proofed I don't have to run up to get him as soon I hear him move.
DS naps on me, in the boppy next to me on the couch, or in bed with me. He will nap in his bassinet very rarely, but is about to outgrow it for weight, so we have to transition him to his crib soon... not sure how that will take.
He does do the first part of the night in his bassinet, and it is his longest stretch of sleep (4-5 hours! woot!) before coming to bed with us.
I am hoping he does well in his crib...
