Maybe they could help her understand that it's time for lights out. </p> <p>I second the Bjorn travel crib (or similar) idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-973993 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 20:24:00 +0000 birdofafeather 973993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: the lotus is on sale right now! <a href="http://www.guavafamily.com/products/lotus-everywhere-travel-crib" rel="nofollow">http://www.guavafamily.com/products/lotus-everywhere-travel-crib</a></p> <p>at $50 per bag for extra luggage, this would be a good investment since you would be able to fit it in one of your larger bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-971348 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:56:40 +0000 birdofafeather 971348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: I would look for a used travel crib! We love our lotus crib and yes it's $200 but it would fit in a carryon, is light and would save you on the baggage fees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-971152 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 21:06:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 971152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: I got the baby bjorn travel crib on CL for $100!!! It weighs like 8lbs and folds up into a bag...AWESOME! Also the mattress is nicer than a reg pnp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-971131 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 20:58:22 +0000 misolee 971131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were debating on bringing the pack n play but its so big and will take up our baggage allowance. But I guess we have to. I tried putting her to sleep at my moms today and it was a total fail. </p> <p>I would love to have one of those light travel cribs but they're so pricy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-970900 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:29:09 +0000 tinyperson 970900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had that problem - LO won't nap in the car, stroller or her crib. Pretty much just on me at 7.5 months. :(</p> <p>I second pp and try a travel pnp...sleeps probably going to be disrupted by the time change, so maybe keeping the sleep location somewhat consistent will help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-970888 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:22:48 +0000 chopsuey 970888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy a travel pnp and take it with you. When we traveled with DD at that age I just nursed her to sleep. You probably don't want to do that though. :) </p> <p>With DS (7 months old) we stuck him in a pnp when we traveled earlier this month and I took his white noise machine with us too. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-970864 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:09:25 +0000 rrachael 970864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how helpful this is ... but it's possible that the excitement/new environment will tire her out and she might surprise you! We recently got back from a 7 day trip and LO napped/slept better at my MIL's house than she ever does at home! When we were out and about we baby wore and she usually passed out after a while.</p> <p>Also, another option could be to see if you could purchase some sort of travel crib/PnP there? I have no idea if that's realistic .. but if so, it could work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-a-10-month-old-to-nap#post-970841 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:54:46 +0000 misolee 970841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 months old tomorrow and naps twice a day...but only in her crib. She will fall asleep in carseat and stroller too. But at home, I just place her in her crib and she stands up, plays a little bit, and eventually falls asleep by herself. </p> <p>My question is, how do I get her to sleep when there's no crib? Are there any methods I can use? We are going to our inlaws in Korea for several weeks and they only sleep on floors so unless at every nap time, I plan to push the stroller around, how do I get her to nap?</p> <p>Oh I also have ergo and tried both front and back wearing. The front wearing calmed her down a little but didnt put her to sleep. The back wearing made both of us sweat a lot so I stopped. </p> <p>Help. </p>
