When did your baby stop contact napping?

[Sunflower654]

I have a 6 week old who won’t be put down for more than 5 minutes. He sleeps well in his crib at night but will only contact nap during the day. I love the cuddles but also I would love to be able to go to the bathroom or even reach for a drink without waking him!
Any tips? I have a carrier which I use but he wakes easily in it which results in a very unsettled baby. He loved his Moses basket until about 3 weeks and now his eyes open as soon as he goes in it. I’ve tried warming it and lying him on his side first. I don’t want to stop contact naps completely but it’s feeling a lot right now.

My daughter is nearly 18 months old and still loves a contact nap, certainly until she hit about 11 months every nap was a contact nap. Some babies just prefer it but 6 weeks is really tiny still.

At home mine didn't but nursery they napped without contact. I didn't push it too much though. I just planned around it.

We still do contact naps at 11 months, I just prep for them (go to toilet, get a drink in a thermal mug, get snacks, get a book). She naps fine at nursery. Keep trying with the carrier, my baby practically lived in there the first 6 months.

I would rock and then transfer at 12 minutes to 15 minutes in a deep sleep. Specific I know. I'd do one big contact nap a day. This was until around 5 months when we sleep trained and from then DC we're brilliant sleepers!

Until they gave up the naps!

Really young, about 16 weeks. It makes me a bit sad to be honest which I recognise is ridiculous, as it is such hard work having no time to yourself at that stage! Mine always loved sleeping when there was motion, so in the pram or car. And then just naturally transitioned to the cot. It really depends on the baby.
