That it should naturally take some time to fall asleep. - Not sure if its the same for kids but I would imagine so.</p> <p>30 mins is a little long but I wouldn't worry about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1411104 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 08:23:10 +0000 Weagle 1411104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does that sometimes. As long as she's safe and not crying she can do whatever she likes in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410805 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 22:04:20 +0000 birdofafeather 1410805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes she takes a bit to wind down. Not crying, just not right to sleep. I try not to worry about it since she's not upset. I take a while to fall asleep too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410650 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:21:42 +0000 Smurfette 1410650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410608 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:41:53 +0000 coopsmama 1410608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. My son is just about 8 months and he too feels the need to explore every inch of his crib before taking a nap. He spends 5-45 minutes talking to himself and playing in there, too, but seems quite happy. I think of it is good time for him to unwind and relax before sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410549 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:56:28 +0000 Mrswonderwoman 1410549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time is much faster. It's just naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410528 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:22:11 +0000 Ree723 1410528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO nearly always plays in her cot for a while before going to sleep - sometimes it's for five minutes, other times it's an hour or more. As long as she's not fussing, I don't worry about it. I actually kind of like that she's so good at putting herself to sleep. She's 19 months and has done this since well before she was a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410506 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:00:53 +0000 blackbird 1410506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will, sometimes! Just has to do her own thing before finally sleeping. The other night, we put her down at 7 and she was awake til 8! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410504 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:59:45 +0000 JennyD 1410504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's LO had to put all his animals to sleep just so when he was about that age. And Mama could not be there for that. Then when his friends were settled, he would sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-a-tour-of-the-crib-for-nap-time#post-1410461 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:24:54 +0000 Mrswonderwoman 1410461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 1/2 month old is FINALLY putting himself to sleep for naps. We give him a pacifier and a blankie, and we have a solid nap routine. He's always yawning and eye rubbing before we start. Bet then, I'll lay him down and leave right away. And then...it's like a 30 minute tour of his crib! I don't get it. Am I missing the sleepy window? Does your LO take that long to put themselves to sleep? </p>
