    I was wondering where yours sleep for their naps? I'm finding that they may fall asleep in the swing, boppies or on the mat and hate waking them to put them in the pnp or take them up to the crib (which they didn't start using yet..still in bassinetts in our room).
    what do all of you do?

    We didn't start doing naps in their cribs until close to 6 months. Before that wherever they slept was fine with us!

    Sometimes they mine fall asleep on a blanket on the floor! My thought is if they are sleeping and it is a safe spot- let them sleep!

    During the day I let them fall asleep in their swing, bouncy chair or their tummies on the floor.

    During the day, anything goes. At night they sleep in the cribs. I haven't had any problems so I don't want to rock the boat per se.

    We started crib naps after our 2 month appt. The ped. said they needed to associate sleeping with their cribs.

    I didn't let mine fall asleep in swings or bouncy seats. They always fell asleep in their cribs (95% of the time....sometimes they fall asleep in a swing and I'd move them)

    The girls used to fall asleep in their bouncers all the time, now it's wherever - Floor, pack in play or crib.

    For the first few months, they slept whereever they fell asleep. That was always somewhere in the living room.

    i swaddle my dd around lunch time after she takes the bottle and falls asleep in my arms than i put her in the crib with the fan going and she will usuall sleep for 2 hours. If i leave her in the swing i find that she wakes up more often and want to be held. so swaddling helps her stay asleep. my son falls asleep in his swing and sleeps awsome there so that where i leave him.

    I usually leave them where they are. I was moving them to their crib, because we were having trouble sleeping at night in the crib, but now we are doing fine at night, so I let them sleep whereever. Kaylee is addicted to the swing so that is usually where she sleeps during the day.

    When the girls were that age (can't believe I am saying that) we used to let them sleep wherever they fell asleep. The ped told us to do that and not worry about it until later. They slept in their bouncies all the time until about 3 months. At 4 months they went to cribs for naps and bed time. Now they are upstairs in their cribs the majority of the time. Megan has some issues with it so she will sometimes sleep next to me on the couch.

    Mine have always slept in their cribs for naps and nighttime. If they fell asleep elsewhere, I moved them. The toughest thing was if they fell alseep in the car. Trying to get them out of their seats without waking them up was hard. If I left them in the seats, they'd wake up after about 10 minutes.
