How do I get my 2 month old to nap in her crib?

Question

My 2 month old sleeps in her crib just fine all night and has since we brought her home.  Napping in there is another story!  She only likes to nap out in the living room either on her boppy, in her swing, or on my chest.  She has one month to learn to nap in her crib because that’s what she will have to do at daycare.  Any tips?

Answer

Be consistent- start putting her in her crib for naps and just keep doing it until she gets it. Don't let her nap in the living room or on the boppy anymore.

Answer

Swaddle Up for the win!  She napped in her crib today!  Not for very long (45 minutes) but it’s a start.

Answer

It was hard at first for us too. We made sure room was completely blacked out, had white noise going, put him in his sleep sack and at first he would only last 20/30 mins but now he naps up to an hour. He sleeps through the night no problem in there.
