Episode 47: Naps only need to work for YOU and YOUR SMALL

When it comes to your Small’s naps there’s a lot of myths and misconceptions out there isn’t there?! That naps need to happen at a set time, in the same place AND in a certain way to be considered or count as a nap. But I do like to keep sleep real around here and normalise infant sleep for you. And like most things on the Care It Out approach the only thing naps need to do is work for you and your Small. Join me for this nap recap episode and I’ll you through why naps don’t need to: be in a cot to count happen in the same space as night-time be taken independently from you happen in the same way every day be a certain length to count happen at exactly the same time I’ll also answer the questions you asked me about naps: What can I do when my Small refuses their only nap? What can I do when my baby is refusing their cat nap but it’s having a huge impact on their night sleep? What age to toddlers stop their nap? How can I encourage my baby to nap at nursery, in the car or in the pram Is it ok to use a dummy for naps but not at night? Why is my Small taking short naps? How will my baby nap at nursery? What are age appropriate nap gaps at 11 months old?
