My daughter is 3 months old and lately she’s been fighting naps, HARD. I’ve tried so many different things and nothing seemed to work... until yesterday. I tried putting her down for a nap but she was not having anything to do with that, she was upset and I was getting frustrated. I think “maybe she’s hungry” so I go in our bathroom where I have her bottles, the vent is on and I’m bouncing her in my arms so I can get this bottle made and next thing I know she’s OUT like a light! I thought okay maybe she was just so tired from fighting it she finally fell asleep or I just got lucky. For her next nap later that day, I decided to try that again but this time I turned the light off in the bathroom, shut the door, turned the vent on, wrapped her in a blankie and rocked/bounced her in my arms and boom, out like a light! I keep thinking this is too good to be true but this morning, I noticed her rubbing her eyes so I wrapped her in her blankie and took her to the bathroom- she was out in no more than 3 minutes (with no binky!) That’s a record for us! I put her down shortly after and she’s been asleep for about an hour now where as her naps would be maybe 20-30 mins if I was lucky.

Y’all. When I say she was fighting naps I mean fighting. I love her but wow she was evil. I never used to be able to get her to sleep without either comfort feeding or giving her a paci and even then it would take 20 minutes or more.

I think I’ve found my golden ticket for nap time. I’m so happy I could cry. Sorry this is so long I’m just really excited I hopefully won’t have to fight her for naps anymore 🥳😭
