Day naps...

So my little man sleeps well in his cot in the night, but when should I start daytime naps upstairs in his cot?? At the moment he sleeps beautifully in his bouncer chair, car, buggy or on me depending where we are and what we're doing. And alot of his naps are no more than an hour in the day which is fine because he's happy and sleeps at night. So it just seems a lot of effort for a short nap. Also he does goes to sleep himself in the evening, self settles with someone just sat near by, but I just dont know whether to bother in the day. ??? What are others doing? He's 16wks now 💙💙💙

  • Mine goes in the next to me, I put her done when she's sleepy to self settle, she's moving into her cot soon( this weekend) because she's getting to long so this week her naps are in there to get used to it I find it easier then she knows when she's put there it's time for a snooze
  • Mine sleeps in the next to you at night which I've actually transitioned across the other side of the bedroom so same room but not close anymore. In the day he sleeps in his "big boy cot" in his own bedroom with blackout blinds and white noise, using the monitor. He does well in there but I'll probably wait for a few months before I put him there are night as I like him near me at night. I should say he does take naps in his carrier or pram if we're on the move. But I prefer him in his cot as he's put the way of my 23 month old who makes A LOT of noise and would otherwise wake him. He's 4 months today x
  • If we are at home Ada sleeps in her cot for naps and if we are out then in the pushchair or the carrier. She sleeps much better in her cot than anywhere else but I've had her there since birth so that will make a difference. During the daytime I close the curtains but not the blind so it's not pitch black but there's no bright light either and then for night time I close everything.
