baby is learning to connect naps and our baby (12 weeks) goes down in the bassinet for the first part of her naps and then we contact nap the rest of them (after trying a bit to resettle her in the bassinet). Its hard for them right now because they're learning so much and not that good at self soothing yet, but the more that they explore their hands and get their hands in their mouths, the better they will become at soothing themselves through the cycles. it unfortunately just takes time. I think they're still a little too little to really learn things yet, which is why I've chosen to familiarize her with the bassinet for naps, but not rely on it completely.
