N-A-P-S — naps! Ever think it’s funny how as an adult we’d kill for naps but kiddos refuse? 🤍 here are some of my favorite infant naps tips. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 watch for SLEEPY CUES: redness around the eyes/eye brows, space cadet look, gaze aversion etc. and then GET GOING! Don’t wait for an escalation into tears- use the earlier cues as your baby asking to be put done for a nap now. By moving into nap time just 10 min earlier can result in less crying, easier time placing down for nap and a longer sleep stretch too! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 soothe baby into a very drowsy state with whatever works for your kiddos (dancing rocking paci etc) and set him or her down to bed VERY DROWSEY. 🤍🤍🤍🤍 set the stage with black out curtains and white noise and now you have an extra chunk of time to YOURSELF 🤍🤍✨✨🤍🤍✨✨
