Is your baby an easy napper?! 😩

Question

Okay so am I the only one who birthed a little wild child?! Haha whenever I see other people’s babies they just fall asleep wherever they are (swing, boppy, laying down, etc) but my baby literally gets tired and then she will only fall asleep with lots of rocking/bouncing/walking her around and if you stop for one second she screams. She also tries to fight the nap every single time, it’s never an easy process. The ONLY time she just falls asleep on her own is in the car or stroller. 
does anyone else have a wild baby or did you get lucky with an easy napper? 😆

Answer

Saaaame. It's usually an hour to hour an a half of work for a 20-30min nap. Sigh...

Answer

Yup! I thought I was the only one! Everyone else I see posts their babies passed out everywhere! She’ll only sleep with me rocking her in a dark room with a sound machine 😂 no one else seems to understand it!!

Answer

Same! Has been getting a little better after we bought a bouncer. Put him in that when he starts showing sleep cues, bounce until he gets super drowsy, pick him up and lay him down. If he wakes up or fights it, I rock him back and forth in the pack n play without picking him up. If he is real cranky, I pick him up and rock/bounce him and try again. It’s a process but has been helpful!

Answer

Mine is good at sleeping but he will only go to sleep in my arms with some walking and bouncing and has to have his binky and be in a specific position. Nobody can replicate it. He had never fallen asleep in his swing or bouncer. He usually stays asleep once he gets there though. I don’t mind too much, I missed this a lot when my first stopped needing me to put him to sleep.

Answer

Nope. My girl hates naps. Will only nap in my arms. Thankfully she sleeps ok at night but disastrous during the day

Answer

My baby naps real well on me but the second she is put on her bassinet, game’s over. My husband is better at putting her on her bassinet, it can last about 30 minutes. 😂😂

Answer

Same here!!!!!

Answer

My 10 week old SUCKS at naps. Will only fall asleep during the day while being held and rocked with a pacifier. She never falls asleep on her own for naps (unless in the car or stroller). It makes no sense because she’s easy at bedtime!

Answer

Right there with you! I feel like my job right now is it get my boy down for naps. And he only naps really well ON me. Never ending battle! Hang in there

Answer

My baby has to be swaddled for her long 2 Hr nap in the afternoon, and then I place her in her crib. For her morning and evening naps she just sleeps wherever since they are only like 20-30 min long
