would it be unreasonable of me to take a nap when the DC do?

[norktasticninja]

DD is 20 months and DS will be 9 weeks tomorrow, in the last week they've started napping at the same time, or at least with a reasonable crossover. It's more through happy coincidence than design though so I don't know how long it'll carry on.

DS is EBF and still feeds at night (obviously). DD is usually up at 6:30 and I have to stay up late if I want to spend any time with DP at all because he usually has to work until 10 or 11.

When DS was new I used to take him to bed with me for a lay down during one of DDs naps but I stopped doing that a few weeks ago and in the mean time DD has moved over to only having one nap.

So what do you think, would it BU/legitimate for me to nap when they do? I do sometimes but it feels lazy and a bit cheeky.

Do it!

You have a baby and a toddler and they nap during the day?!?! And they do it at the SAME TIME?!?!??!

If you don't take advantage of it then my sleep deprived addled self is going to come around to your house and nap for you.

do it! I've just had 30mins on the couch with dd who is 3. we where snuggling & both fell asleep. I woke & left dd napping she is a bit under the weather.

I still do it at the weekends. DD will be 3 in Oct. I have NO intention of stopping until she does.

enjoy yourself

DD was born when DS was 22 months and whenever they did nap at the same time so would I. Sadly it very rarely happened but if you get the chance you should take it
