How do you mommies get your babies to nap?? Ava fights it all day long. The longest nap she took was 2 hours long and that was during a growth spurt. Average is 30 mins. I HAVE to walk her around and bounce and occasionally give her a bottle to get her to sleep. Lately we've been needing to walk her around in her CARSEAT. UGH.

@momma-cc @nomli @dazzlingmommy I don't always have access to my car because my fiance will drive it to work.but she does seem more relaxed in a car ride. It's always hard to tell when she gets drowsy because she'll keep playing and cooing until she gets fussy. I don't want to HAVE to walk her around or bounce her until she falls asleep
@momma-cc, @avasmommy808,
At that my age my son would ONLY nap if I drove him around. Sometimes I would be able to get away with swinging him in his car seat. His naps were also average 30 minutes 😭😭
My advice is to try not to wait until she is too tired to put her down for a nap. Once they’re over tired it’s harder for them to fall asleep. I would also suggest reading a book on sleep training!
Also be careful with the car seat.. it gave my son a flat spot on the back of his head. He had to wear a helmet for a couple months!
He was catnapper until maybe 9m. 15-45 minutes usually, every once in a while I'd get two hours. I just had to wait until he outgrew it.
How does your little one do in the car?? Does driving put her into deeper sleeps?? If she likes carseat maybe it might help lengthen sleeps ? Good luck hun
@avasmommy808, Yea my son was the same way!! He was also colic so that didn’t help. But I understand what you mean. I didn’t want him to get used to that either that’s why I looked into sleep training which helped a lot! The book I read that I really liked is called “Healthy sleep habits, Happy child.”
