Finally figured out how to get LO napping OFF of me!!

misssurly · July 2011

My LO wouldn't nap anywhere except on me... she's always hated her swing, vibrating chair, crib and only slept in the bassinet at nighttime.

I've been following the optimal awake times (sort of) and putting her down every hour and a half after changing her, swaddling her, putting the sleep sheep on and feeding her side lying on our bed. She passes out easily and is napping better than ever. She'll do about 3-4 naps a day there, one being 2.5 hours. She's also been much easier to get down at nighttime after having those naps every 1.5 hours.

Just wanted to share since I was so desperate for advice on how to get her off of me. It was a long 3 months of her napping in my arms, thank goodness it was a phase and we're past it!! Yay.
