Help! Baby naps in bouncer but getting too big! What next?

[PurpleDana]

Bit of advice please.
My 3 month old dd will only go to sleep if she is rocked either in my arms or in her bouncer chair. Now she is getting too big for it. What do I do? Is the only option to start putting her in her cot for daytime naps? Even at night we have to transfer her into her cot once she is asleep.

DS is 4 months old. I use the cot for daytime naps, or the pram.

My 14 mo still naps on me so no advice sorry, but let me know if you manage to find the solution

I had same problem with my 11 week old DS (98th centile!) outgrowing his swinging chair when he was 9 weeks old... we bought a travel cot thay lives in our living room now, he hated it at first and we had a week of nap refusal and an overtired baby, but he got used to it eventually... now need to find a similar solution for him outgrowing his bath seat!

Rock and then transfer to cot? That's what I would do.

you can get rockers that go from newborn to 3 years old, that might be an option?

We got one for DS2, he never napped in his bouncer, but I always felt it was a safer place for him than being on the floor (with 4 year old and 2 cats) and so we got a fisherprice one which he can rock a little bit by himself and it has a vibrate function (although we've not put the battery in) but you might have to do manual rocking if you wanted your son to sleep in it.

I have a 4 month old - daytime naps are in the buggy. A quick walk if I can manage it or else just rock him for a while in it.

Sling or buggy used to work for us.

Get a nice stretchy sling like a Moby, rather than a Baby Bjorn that will kill your back.

Thanks for the advice ladies. I never intended to be a rock-to-sleep mum, but with terrible wind when younger & now reflux it's become the only option, I refuse to let my baby scream (in pain) to sleep
