Newborn mommies - spinoff where do they nap?

My DD naps mostly the days I am out with her. She can sleep in the car seat wherever we go. When I am home with her when I put her in the crib, I am lucky if I get 45 min. naps!

At that age DS would nap in the car seat, swing, or cradle. Most of the time in my arms to be honest. I miss that so much! Chat Icon

At this point, the only time Aidan will nap is when he's in my arms or DH's arms. If we put him down anywhere, we're lucky if he sleeps half an hour.

Re: Newborn mommies - spinoff where do they nap?

she mostly naps in her bassinet sometimes in her crib (trying to get her used to sleeping in there)....at the beginning though she only took very short catnaps in the boppy and i know it was a no no but it was either that or i had to carry her everywhere bc she would scream bloody murder when i would put her down....she also was in pain with acid reflux and gas so that definitely had something to do with it ....now since shes on meds she can sleep in her bassinet on her inclined sleep positioner for some good naps and she seems happy

DS still naps in the swing. I should probably make the transition to naps in the crib soon. He doesn't nap while we are out unless he is VERY VERY tired. He hates the car seat so he's usually screaming in there.

If we are out and about, DS will sleep in his carseat...the whole time. Which can be a killer if I have a lot of running around to do b/c he will sleep all day and give me a hard time about going to sleep at night. But, when we are home he mostly naps in his swing. Honestly, DH and I have been trying to break him of this and we put him in his crib if he falls alseep during the day. But, DS has been waking up when we put him in the crib after 20 minutes or so. If we leave him in his swing he could sleep for hours.

DS naps in his crib - an hour or two in the morning and 3, sometimes 3.5 hours in the afternoon.

if we are driving or i am pushing the stroller he will sleep in his carrier, but as soon as we stop he usually wakes up. i also find that if we are out all day and he is napping the the carrier that they are not restful naps for him - he ends up more tired later on in the day.

ETA: he is 8 weeks now

DS has acid reflux too, so he naps in his boppy, in my arms, his swing. once ina while he will lay flat on the couch. he will NOT sleep in his bassinett during the day, he def. knows it's not night time. he is 7 weeks now

Re: Newborn mommies - spinoff where do they nap?

DS is now 4 months. He will either nap in my arms or in my bed with me laying next to him.

He will always fall asleep in the car but once the car stops moving he is up.

Re: Newborn mommies - spinoff where do they nap?

Kristina would nap at home, and only in her PNP. I did it that way so that she would learn that her bassinet was for nighttime sleeps only.

Re: Newborn mommies - spinoff where do they nap?

DS will nap anywhere you put him: crib, swing, bouncy, PNP, someone's arms, carrier. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. He will sleep for a couple hours usually in any of these.
