Do you nap when baby naps?

[Emma58]

I'm soo tired during the day even though Sam doesn't wake often at night but, i find it really hard to nap during the day when he does.

I find i'm dashing around doing housework when he's sleeping because i can't get on with it when he's awake.

I feel like i'm running on nervous energy a lot of the time but i just can't nod off during the day when he does even though i know i probably should.

i never sleep in the day unless im really shattered but then i end up falling asleep on the sofa with thomas laid on me which isnt the best thing in the world but im like you i cant nap when there is things to be getting on with

I don't very often nap either. When i get chance, i try but i just can't seem to switch off enough. We sometimes have a cuddle on the settee together but i never really sleep deep enough to make a difference.

LOL i tried this afternoon to have a nap but Sam was wriggling all over me, then the phone rang so I gave up!

Nah, sprog only sleeps on a night, never in the day unless I'm holding him

I suppose I've got it good in that he only wakes on a night for feeds, but I'm still knackered.

Only managed it twice since Kathryn was born! Too much to do and usually feel worse after a nap so it's not worth it! Makes me laugh when OH complains that he's tired I'd love to see him get up for at least an hour every night and still be up bright and fresh at 6am!

A few times when Alex was a newborn I did try and nap when he did, but usually my mam rang and woke me up
I definitely don't now though.

I never slept when my wee man had a nap as I preferred to catch up with the chores. I did on a few occasions but it was when I was totally exhausted. x

I never nap either, but saying that when the baby's asleep aidan (20 months) is awake and causing havok lol so i never get the chance

Charlie only cat naps through the day and when he does, like everyone else, there are a million other things to be done Also would be scared in case I fell asleep and missed picking Jamie up from school.

I started napping with Isaac when he got older, 6months+ and I still do now, it works for us wish I'd done it when he was youunger as then I was very tired

 

[Jen & Her Men]

I nap loads with james!!

But then again I can sleep on a clothes line and never have enough sleep even if i get 12 hours!

Fortunately im lucky and james sleeps through and has done for a while.

I'd be buggered if he didnt!

 

[Babylicious]

No I don't bother as he sleeps for 40 minute bursts and it takes me that time to get off!

Galen has had long periods of being awake in the day on a regular basis. 6 hour stretches are not unheard of since he was 2 weeks old I tend to get on and do things regardless when he is awake now. I get set up say in the sitting room, bring the ironing in and so on and he is content in his pram or basket with some music and a toy so I get on with stuff. He has time with me also, play mat, toys, going out and so on but I like he is content for 30 minutes to an hour sometimes just being left nice and quiet.

When he naps in the mid afternoon is when I nap with him now. Him in his basket, me on the sofa. I usually get an hour or so which is great.

im not feeling like I need to sleep in the day at the moment cos Logans only waking up once in the night for a feed. (I go to bed midnight, wake up at 6)

Find it hard to sleep in the day anyway, if I am going to try and nap I set the alarm on my phone so I dont miss picking up James

 

[Full of hope!]

I could never get to sleep during the day and it used to get me so frustrated I give up trying! I used to go to bed at 8pm instead Hubby was home from work then to take care of Ja.

Jacob has just started sleeping through so i'm getting around 7 hours a night now which is briliant I'd get more if I went to bed earlier though

I used to take naps in the early weeks/months when I felt the need to when my son was having his nap.

Now I'm pregnant with my 2nd, I have a little nap when my son's having his afternoon nap. 30/45 minutes nap in the afternoon makes me feel so much more energised.

The chores can wait!

Like Sherlock, I just got on with the chores around baby when he was awake. Still do.

 

[Gem & Leland]

i did yesterday for the first time , and guess who was still awake at 2 am this morning because of it

 

[Lola's Mummy]
