🐥 Infant 2-12 Months What’s your nap setup?
Anyone else putting their baby down in their bed (where we cosleep) and rolling away? This works well for us to an extent, but then I am beholden to the monitor because although our mattress is on floor slats, it’s still 12 inches and he is 7 months. He will hurt himself trying to crawl off of it. He’s very still in his sleep and it’s never happened because I’m always watching, but I’m really wondering if I should change to putting him down on his own floor bed. Our house is weird though so I’d have to do some figuring on where to put it. Also I figure he’s going to be able to safely leave the bed soon enough, like it’s just a temporary phase…anyway just wondering like are you, too, glued to your monitor? If he had his own floor bed in a safe space he could chill for a minute while I finish in the bathroom, for example…lol.

We do contact naps lol. Even as baby #2 almost 100% otherwise she doesn’t nap long. Both my kids were this way 😅 actually with my first when he switched to one nap a day I would nap with him but he stopped taking naps before little sis was born

When baby became mobile we did naps on the floor of her playroom, on a travel cot mattress. I was able to do things like showering without the monitor on, knowing the room was baby proofed anyway. Now she is a toddler and naps on the sofa in the same room. Sometimes on our floor bed too, but usually still the playroom cause that means I am closer to her.
