Do you swaddle or use the MB for naps?

We use the MB at night but I wonder how many use it for naps too?

Re: Do you swaddle or use the MB for naps?

I use the swaddle me for naps.

DS is not a good napper. He's not one of those babies who will just fall asleep in his bouncer or swing usually. I need to hold him and rock or bounce him to sleep and then I TRY to transfer him to his PNP or swing but most of the time he will wake up as soon as I move him and flail his arms which wakes him up more.

Once he gets overtired, I'm done for. He won't nap at all during the day and will witch from 7PM to 9PM (just in time for Daddy)

I find if I try a couple of times and he won't go down, if I swaddle him, he usually will and then will nap a little easier the rest of the day too.

Same for us. I wanted DD to realize that the MB meant it was sleepy time, and she used to get all happy when she saw it.Chat Icon

Otherwise she'd sleep in her bassinet or crib unswaddled just fine. Naps were fine, it was nighttime she wouldn't sleep longer than an hour unswaddled.

We use it anytime she sleeps because we tried not swaddling her for naps and she sleeps no more than 15 mins. She's in constant movement even swaddled and she constantly wakes herself up.

We do swaddle for naps as well.

My ILs used to not swaddle, because they felt it was like a baby straight jacket and they felt bad. Well DS never would sleep unless he was in their arms. Finally they gave it a try, and then just like that DS started sleeping for them!

ETA: I only use it for naps when DS is going into the crib.

I used the MB for naps too (he is out of it now), for me it helped get him to take naps in the crib consistently

I do because if I don't she doesn't stay asleep when I put her down. At night I use the MB and for naps I use the Swaddle Me.

Re: Do you swaddle or use the MB for naps?

I use the MB for naps because if I didn't DD would never nap. I am not sending it with her to daycare though and hoping that they can get her to nap without it. We'll see how that works...

Still do at 6 months. It's the only way he will nap in his crib (it's a large size swaddle).

I don't use it at night because he can bust out of it, and he doesn't need it then.
