dear moby, i love you.
thank god for the moby wrap. i don't know what i would do without it. macie is not a good napper. not at all. i can't really complain too much because she sleeps soooo well at night. but naps are miserable. i do all the same things i do at night. she gets swaddled. and she sleeps in her bassinet, just like she does at night. even if i put her down sound asleep (which i know isn't a good habit), she's up almost immediately. her naps range from about 10-20 minutes. then she's up and smiling like that was sufficient. nope. she's cranky again in 1/2 an hour. the only way she takes a decent nap (like 1-2 hours decent) is if she's in the moby wrap. as soon as i put her in that thing, she's out. what gives? thankfully the moby is super comfortable (if she's in the baby bjorn for awhile, my back really starts to hurt). i don't know how to get her on a good nap schedule. any suggestions? what are your kids nap schedules like?

When I read the title of your post, I thought you were thanking Moby, the craptastic musician. I was glad to see this was not a post about crappy music.
ReplyDeleteMaribelle's naps were awful until she was about six months old. Up until that point, she basically slept in her swing whenever I saw her getting tired (which was like every hour and a half, MAYBE two hours). She didn't get on a schedule until six or maybe seven months. It took some work, but I read a bunch of sleep training books and got her on a nice schedule of taking two to three naps a day in her crib. Now she's a great sleeper.
It WILL get better. And I am totally getting a Moby for the next beebee we have. I've heard so many great things about them.
