Naps in pram or car seat?
« on: March 31, 2007, 13:05:03 pm »
My 2nd ds was seven weeks old yesterday and today we have started E.A.S.Y.

I know that in the book it says not to allow children to nap in the pram and I presume this applies to the car seat too.

My problem is that I am never in! I can't be putting him down to nap in a crib as every day of the week, morning and afternoon, we are off to one playgroup or another, going shopping, or meeting friends. Add to that taking ds1 to nursery school in the car, and at weekends going off to play areas or to visit relatives in the car - we are hardly ever at home. Basically in the week he spends half the day in his pram, as I don't drive and we go about on foot, and at the weekend Daddy's home, so he naps in his car seat.

I just don't see how this is compatible with E.A.S.Y. Please help!

good for you getting out! I was the same with DS, never in, and I had the driving problem too so literally everywhere we went e was in his pram. I just tried to stick to EASY as far as I could. i wasn't going to stay in just so he could nap in his crib! When we were in he was never in his pram, but its impossible when you are out. I don't really have any advice, I just know that it worked for us. when we got to friends or baby group or whatever, I made sure he came out of his pram but at that age he slept more than anything else anyway!

For the 1st 4 months, I did pretty much the same with dd2. She was able to sleep just about anywhere... but then I did find that she was more sensitive to noise, light and would only catnap if in the car or pram. I found that after 4 months, she needed to be in her dark room & in the cot to have a decent nap. Enjoy this period where they will sleep just about anywhere & hopefully your ds is not as sensitive as my dd.... It does get easier as they drop to 3 naps and then the catnap is a freeby so can be taken just about anywhere as well. The other naps I did have to stay home for cause otherwise she would get overtired and not sleep well at night

Good luck
