I don't have any good advice b/c my baby is a terrible napper too. I just want to wish you good luck! Even if I follow the same exact routine for naps that we do at bedtime, I still can't get her to take a nap of longer than 30 minutes. Ugh.

For nap time, I change LO's diaper then sing a few lullabies while I swaddle and rock her for a minute before putting her in her crib. LO typically has a feeding either right when or within 15 minutes of waking up in the morning or from a nap. At bedtime, LO gets a bath and pj's, then I nurse her and swaddle before I put her in her crib. I only starts swaddling after feeding when I got put on antibiotics and had to pump/dump, but I'm hoping to continue so she can fall asleep on her own. Still on antibiotics until Sunday so we shall see if it works once the boob is back!

We initially nursed LO for both naps and night time. She was also a better night time sleeper than napper. We actually sleep trained only one of her naps. Once she got the hang of falling asleep on her own for that one nap, we started putting her down awake for her other naps and eventually bed time as well. This wouldn't have worked for my son who was a horrible sleeper over all until we sleep trained him both naps and bedtime all at once.

Mine are different. For nap, all we do is change the diaper, turn off the lights and turn on the fan, and say, "night night, I love you." and put her in the crib.

For bed we do a bath, change into night time diaper and pj's, turn on fan and night light and turn off lights, give LO a bottle, say, "night night, I love you" and put her in the crib.
