Naps in cot

[Lilelephant]

So o has kinda figured his routine out now and he naps at 9.30/10am for about an hour and 3/4pm ish for about a hour!

So i figure I would start putting him in his cot for naps but do I put him in his cot for both or just one? Don't want him to confuse night and day

I put her in her basket for naps but leave curtains open so she knows it's light and so daytime. I also say the word 'nap' a few times as I put her in and then at night it's 'bobies'. So hopefully as time goes on she will know the difference xx

I think by now he'd know night and day. My LO learnt it within weeks just through stimulation in day none at night

 

[Lilelephant]

Yeah he sleeps thru at night so he does no the difference I just don't wanna confuse him

I worried about causing confusion when I first did this but there shouldn't be because you have a different routine for bedtimes. Angels been sleeping in her cot for naps for nearly a month now and is fine xx

I would avoid the cot if you can, it could confuse him.

Why not put him in his buggy in the bedroom instead, so its slightly different to bedtime, or a moses basket or something like that.

I was wondering about this since E has been in her cot. At the moment she naps in her chair or sometimes I'll pop her in her pram but won't be able to do this forever. When I have put her in the cot to nap I've left the curtains and blind open and also used a blanket instead of grobag to make it different.
