When we're in the house we do white noise, nurse then rock him. Sometimes he'll lie in his crib, other times he won't so we hold him. Stress-free and works for us. He's nearly 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160374 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 03:26:38 +0000 erinpye 2160374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever for my 14 month old, and my 3 yr old doesn't nap anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160289 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:45:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2160289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my kids are older. </p> <p>10 minutes for the 17 month old and FOREVER for the 3 year old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160201 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:04:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2160201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msplatypus: yah they change so much the first year! once you have something down, they go ahead and change again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160197 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:00:08 +0000 msplatypus 2160197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I think we may need to fudge with wake times. She has always gone down well until 4 months when she needed to stop being swaddled, her naps started getting longer about 3 weeks ago and then this week she has taken 10 to 30 minutes to go down for naps and night time and suddenly we have short naps again.</p> <p>Everytime something goes amiss I always feel like I've done something wrong, it's so hard to remember that she goes through so many changes so quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160189 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:51:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2160189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we sleep trained so they always went to sleep within minutes for naps. having trouble going down for naps could be a sign of not tired enough or overtired. but 6 months is when they start being able to stay awake longer, so maybe your lo needs a longer wake time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160149 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:07:25 +0000 anonysquire 2160149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160146 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:05:56 +0000 Mae 2160146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Goes in phases, but its almost always inconsistent. When thing are "great" I'd say anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. When things are not so great up to 30 min or sometimes i just end up rocking her bc she refuses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160145 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:03:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2160145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, 1-2 mins. We go through phases where he cries for 5 minutes before falling asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160095 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 17:43:34 +0000 MenagerieMama 2160095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-15 min? She usually has a diaper change, eats, bottle or nurse (depending on if I'm home or not) and then into her zipadeezip in her crib. Turn on the white noise and close blackout curtains, kiss on the head. She puts herself to sleep so sometimes she decides to squirm around the crib and talk to herself (or blow raspberries, a new adorable favorite) until she falls asleep. She's a good napper (7 mo now) and has been since about 3.5-4 mo. She has a hard time going down the day after I work a 14-15 hr shift but is fine the day after that. Luckily those are only 2x per month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-for-your-lo-to-go-down-for-naps#post-2160090 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 17:36:32 +0000 msplatypus 2160090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a nap routine for your baby, how long does it take your lo to go to sleep after the routine? My almost 6 months old seems to be taking longer and longer to go down for naps. And I was just curious what other people's routines look like. </p>
