where does your LO sleep during the day?

excited16 · January 2012

At night she sleeps next to us, but I'm wondering if there is an ideal place to sleep in the day. She alternates between her car seat in the kitchen or sometimes in her stroller or moby wrap. We ordered a swing and are waiting on that. I guess my question is if it's better for her to sleep in her own crib in the day to get used to it, or to have her near me (though sometimes it's a bit noisier/brighter). I prefer her near me, then I can relax knowing I can easily see her but is it ok that she's sleeping in so many different places?

For the first 6 weeks or so she slept wherever she happened to fall asleep but now she's on a consistent nap schedule so she wakes for the day around 7am and gets put down at 9(ish) and 1(ish) in her crib for naps with bedtime at 7pm

I have no idea if it's ok but she sleeps in her bouncy chair during the day because she started hating her crib during daytime a little while ago. Im starting to put her in her crib more often to get used to it. I am afraid one day she will be too big for the chair!

We use the swing, bouncy seat, or Moby. Or she's on one of us. At night she sleeps in the PNP in our room.

I've read that you don't want them napping in their crib so they associate the crib with nighttime and long sleeps and to not have any lights on or very little (where as napping you have a light/toy on or window open)

But I'm no expert. She naps wherever. The swing, the moby, the bouncy seat, the RNP...I'm not movin her!
