Anyone have a baby who only naps in the pram or car?

my 9mo is now being cared for by my mum and MIL 2 days a week while I work who have to take him for walks to get him to sleep
this is no problem however now that my son is waking at 5.30 everyday, he’s ready for his first nap by 8.30 and often it feels like such a rush for grandparents getting over for 8 then having to head straight out for a nap!

similarly for me, I don’t have the option to get housework done during naps

ive tried all the methods but hes just very nosy, and a FOMO baby!

anyone else can relate to this problem?😆

My LO is still like this at 16 months - I take her for a short walk and then leave the buggy in the hallway and get on with my jobs. She can sleep a good 2
hours in the buggy even if it isn’t moving

My eldest was like this. She did not believe in daytime naps and while she would sleep in the buggy or car she would wake as soon as we got home. When she started nursery at 9 months they got her into a routine of a daytime nap fairly quickly thankfully. Let your Mum and MIL work out their own routines with him, they are both more experienced parents than you.
