Me! I think LO was 10 or 11 months before we got two reliable naps in the crib each day. I don't say that to stress you. We also dealt with some health concerns that set us back on sleep schedules. Will your LO nap in the car seat or stroller? We had a few car and stroller naps at times when he was on a three or four nap schedule and I just wanted to get out of the house!

My LOs (twins) took most of their naps on me until 8 months. At that point I was just tired of spending all day in their room trying to keep them sleeping, so I nap trained them. I will say, though, that at 21 months I still nurse them all the way to sleep and when DH was home for 2.5 weeks over Christmas we held them for a lot of naps. We just like the cuddles.

Like a year!

Until somewhere in the 7th month, then we sleep trained for naps (we'd sleep trained for night at 6 months). It was really rough, but she got it after a few days. But then once she dropped to 1 nap at 12 months I realized she'd nap much longer (and be happier) if I let her sleep on me after her inevitable 1 hr wakeup so we did that again for 2 months until she decided she was over sleeping on me.

@Dahlia: yes, i think you can work towards naps in the crib slowly. that's what we did. and until then enjoy the snuggles.

He never really napped on me, I put him down a lot from the beginning. But we did have a few days around wonder weeks where he had to nap on me. But I'd say that was completely over by 8-10 weeks?

DD has been napping in her crib since around 9 weeks or so. We put her in a sleep sack. We get about 1 hour of sleep at a time.
