Do you do anything before naptime?

Kimberly4411

To get them ready for it? Or do you just lay them in the crib when you know they're tired. Madison falls asleep on her own in the evenings and we've been working on naps. Of course she has an hour to wind down before she goes to bed, bath, bottle, play, books. Do i need to read some books to her before nap so she knows its coming? Sorry, i just want it to be as easy for her as i can make it

@blessedtxmom i say the same thing, do you give him a book in his crib? Thats a good idea. I just hate that she wakes up at different times every morning, it makes it harder On her

Nope I just take him to his crib and put him down, tired or not. He falls asleep within 20 min.

Same here, I just put him in and he goes to sleep...my son is two so he is growing out of naps. I've been putting him in later now around 3pm. Usually he will lay and talk to himself for a little then falls asleep

Lol, his six year old still gets naps.
