Where does your baby nap?

LimaD · February 2013

My DD (10 wks) has been sleeping in her crib since she was about 5 weeks old.

Could her taking naps in her crib be messing with her sleep schedule at night? I always make sure there is plenty of daylight in the room so her days/nights dont get confused...and she naps so well in the crib. usually for 2-3 hours for her morning nap. Just curious, does anyone here intentionally have their little one nap somewhere other than where they sleep at night?

She used to sleep from 10-4 then again til about 8. She even had a few nights that she slept through the night til 6. Lately she's been back to getting up at 2am and I'm trying to figure out if there's something I should be doing differently...

DS naps typically in our living room, window blinds wide open, we don't try and be quiet. He usually is spread out on our couch or in his RNP...hasn't really taken to falling asleep in his swing yet.

At daycare he either falls asleep in her swing or naps in a PNP or on her or her daughter's (her helper) chest...he loves that spot! He is pretty spoiled there!

Lately his morning naps are around 20 to 30 minutes and then he as a larger afternoon nap from 2:00pm until I pick him up shortly after 4:30pm.

DS is only 10 days old, but we try to nap him in his crib, but his set up is different. At night he gets swaddled, a toque and the humidifier on. During the day he just gets a blanket and no white noise. Some naps we just cuddle. That's nice too!

baby naps in his crib with lots of light in his room...at night he's in almost complete darkness when he sleeps.

My DD is #3 in the family - as a result she naps everywhere. If we are home in the am, while I shower she is in the swing. If we are out (pre-school drop off, playgroups, ballet class, etc) she is in the car seat or baby carrier. Same for the afternoon - she is so happy if I can hold her for a nap, though! Poor thing may never have a schedule...but we will get through it!

My LO naps in our living room and sleeps in his crib at night. I haven't even tried to transition naps to the crib yet as his nap schedule isn't consistent even at 8 weeks. I'm just happy that he's able to sleep at night in the crib for 6-8 hours without any issues. I know we'll eventually get to the point of napping in his room.

Her swing, on us, or occasionally the RNP. She sleeps in the RnP at night.

It's probably just a phase and nothing you are doing/not doing. Night sleeping seems to be a two step forward one step back process.

That being said DS doesn't sleep in his bassinette unless it's time for night time sleep. He typically sleeps on his playmate out in the front room or kitchen (wherever we are at), he takes one nap in the swing and that's when DD goes down for her nap. That nap I do make it a little darker and quiet.
