She would be swaddled and of course no pillows or blankets around. It was really nice :) Boheme on "Do you nap with your newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nap-with-your-newborn#post-866234 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:55:13 +0000 Boheme 866234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 17 days old and napping with him is necessary for survival! I just remove the covers and pillows from the bed, and he sleeps between me and his co-sleeper. emg86 on "Do you nap with your newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nap-with-your-newborn#post-866228 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:50:23 +0000 emg86 866228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All of the time! My midwife encouraged that I do so from day 1 to get as much rest as possible. I quickly learned that I felt a lot better when I just nursed side laying with her and continue to do so now...she's 6 weeks. katsupgirl on "Do you nap with your newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nap-with-your-newborn#post-866224 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:48:19 +0000 katsupgirl 866224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I did but sometimes it was unintentionally. I was just exhausted.

Sometimes he just slept on me while I watched a movie or something. maybebaby on "Do you nap with your newborn?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nap-with-your-newborn#post-866214 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:44:14 +0000 maybebaby 866214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've found it to be a lifesaver to nurse to sleep in our bed for naps...and I fall asleep too! I make sure there are no blankets or pillows near his face, but I do worry that he may be too young for it...he is 16 days old. Do you nap with your LO?
