Nap tips

Lo isnt the best napper, but shes tired Usually 30min and maybe 1 longer one if im lucky
In the swing...maybe in the crib. But if im holding her she naps great, Shes almost 5 mo. Shes been fighting the swing, so im trying Naps in the crib, Its not working...i do a modified cio which is exhausting but seemed to be working until she was crying so hard i had to stop. Poor thing. if i rock her to sleep and then put her down, she wakes up. What can i do? Shes sleeping on me as i post.

Re: Nap tips

  • i hate to say it but it sounds like she is used to the rocking and then the rocking stops when u see she is sleeping. then she wakes to realise the rocking has stopped. i know its hard not to as thats what i did with my first. do u rock the crib too? my advice. try and get her used to sleeping without the rocking. i dont have the time now with my 2nd who is nearly 5 months and he is used to just being put down when its nap time. it might be the answer. its worth a try. goodluck

  • That makes sense... Let me try not rocking. We dont rock crib but when we put her down at night she sleeps
