Naps in pram

8 replies

So my LO has suddenly started to refuse naps in his cot! I spend ages & ages trying to settle, have tried different times & nothing seems to work. But he settles super quick in the pram - I can take him out in the pram & he will be asleep within 5 mins! So my question is; is it bad for him to have his naps in the pram? He is 14 months, has just 1 nap around 12 for approx 2hrs. I went back to work last week & I just haven’t got the energy to fight with him to sleep in the cot...
TIA

Mine has only ever napped in the pram, he's one 🤷🏼‍♀️ if it works for you, go for it!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with daytime naps being in the pram.

Op my DD ( now 2.5) only ever napped in the pram until about 17months when I tried it again and she soon actively asked to go to bed which I honestly never ever thought would happen.
I used to question myself all the time about the pram naps but I wish i hadn't wasted my time worrying. Pram naps are totally fine , if one day they want to go in the cot then great otherwise just go with it !

I actually wish my baby would nap in a pram. She has napped in the cot from 5 months and it can be quite restrictive, although in lockdown there's nowhere to go anyway!

My son is 22 months old and has been napping in his pram since around 9 months old.

Pram was the only way I could get DS to nap up until he dropped his nap at 2.5. Although be warned.. Those quick 5 minute walks to get them off to sleep get longer and longer!

My son is two will still only nap in his pram. I have never tried to change this for fear of ruining his nighttime sleep in his cot which has always been really good. It’s much more flexible as well as you don’t have to plan your day around their nap times. His feet are hanging off the end now but I think he is nearly done with naps!
