Nap training

My daughter likes to sleep at night for 12 hours. But she will not nap in her crib at all she takes long naps on me but nowhere else. She will take a nap on the bouncer for about 30 to 40 minutes. How can I help her take a nap in her room?

My first kid would only nap on me too. Naps are the absolute hardest part of sleep IMO because they are always short and usually even the best sleeper won't nap for long in a crib.

First off, know this is normal and also don't push the crib. Let your LO nap wherever she sleeps best at this point. Try the crib later on.

My lo is 3.5 weeks and won't nap more than ten minutes during the day unless attached to my boob. This has been making for very fussy evenings until I can finally get him down for the night

She is twelve weeks and still wants to sleep on me. I by far am not complaining just wish she would so I get a nap long enough to take one too. But can't complain that she sleeps all night.

My nearly six month old WAS a great sleeper – slept through from about 10/11pm until 7/8am at two months, and took short-ish but fairly consistent naps during the day. I was elated!! This lasted until he was four months, when things took a turn for the worse. Since then, he’s woken up at least once, usually two or three times a night, and he’s had weeks where he’s woken up four, five, six, seven times a night. I’ve searched your site looking for some suggestions but everything I can find connected with four month sleep regression assumes the baby has some sleep association e.g. Bottle, breast, pacifier, etc. – and my son doesn’t. I’ve put him down FULLY awake since he was very young and he’s put himself to sleep, with very little to no crying every time. With no sleep association to ‘break’, I have no idea what to do, since all the advice here seems to say that, once baby can put himself to sleep, he’ll be able to settle himself during the night as well.

I heard if they start waking at night that they are about to reach a new milestone.
