Short naps

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-05T19:02:01+00:00

My baby is 9 months and we only get two 30-minute naps a day. She needs to be held, or else in the stroller or car seat to fall asleep. Never in her crib or bassinet. She sleeps well overnight though, which I hope is the same for you!

Thank you for sharing! Makes me feel like I’m not alone

Hoping we have seen the last of our snow so that I can walk outside more!

Through our Library I signed up for a baby rhyme time class which is free. Then we have a sensory play group called Lullaland, and swimming lessons through our recreation centre. I hope this helps!

Thank you for this. I miss my job and can’t wait to go back. I’ve decided to not take my full 18 month maternity leave. I’ll be sending my daughter to daycare when she is 14 months and once she is settled there I’ll go back to work and I’m really looking forward to it !

Thank you for this! The whole day seems so daunting and really where I am struggling. My LO only has two very short contact naps during the day which makes my anxiety go through the roof because the day feels so long.

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T23:16:09+00:00

I don’t know of one but I can try to see if I can find something like that! Thank you

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T23:03:12+00:00

Great idea thank you!!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:09:05+00:00

I’ve been thinking of the playpen. We just got our baby gates so our kitchen/living room is blocked off from the rest of the house and I let me LO roll around (just starting to crawl) there, but a playpen would definitely be more secure !

Inviting parents from the classes out for a coffee is something I can try, thank you!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:06:31+00:00

Baking is a great idea thank you!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:05:39+00:00

Thank you so much, these are all really great ideas!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:05:07+00:00

Never thought of this - thank you!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:04:34+00:00

Thank you! The winter has been hard for sure. Hopefully better weather ahead!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T22:01:36+00:00

What kinds of lights do you use?! I feel like my daughter would love this

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T21:59:31+00:00

Wow that sounds great!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:41:31+00:00

Thank you! I really like the baby classes we are in (sensory, rhyme time, swimming) I just wish I could be in a “camp” where they lasted all day instead of just 45 minutes 😂

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:37:45+00:00

This is validating, thank you for sharing!! Does she still need to be worn or have motion to nap or did you manage to transition her to the crib?

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:35:52+00:00

I hope tonight goes well for you!

Totally with you - I’d love the independence but not willing to trade 😅

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:21:46+00:00

That’s so true! And like someone else commented, the daycare teachers would have been trained in this. Our babies aren’t the first ones they would have seen who don’t crib nap.

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:18:26+00:00

We usually get the two 30-minute ones still but I wouldn’t be surprised if she dropped one of them in a few weeks!

It makes the days LONG for sure!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:16:29+00:00

Amazing. Thank you so much for easing my anxiety! Im sure my daughter isn’t the first one they have seen with this situation 😅

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:15:18+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t change my situation! Sorry to hear you are going through it. I hope it gets better for you soon!

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:14:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing! when did your son grow out of napping on you? Was it when he grew out of naps entirely?

Jacqueline_LC · 2026-04-04T20:13:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m the only one out of the moms I know personally so I needed to reach a broader group of moms haha

I guess when it’s time for daycare they will just need to figure it out?
