Those that contact nap, when did you stop?

My baby is 7 months old, and she's napping on me right now 😂😍

My 16 month old still has the odd contact nap ever now and then xxx Make the most of them before they stop I miss that he doesn’t do it as much anymore

I’ll always offer independent sleep but if he wants me then he’ll get my cuddles. My daughter is almost 3 and begs for cuddles but will fart around using my body as a distraction. So she gets to sleep on her own. ETA: we stopped when she stoped nursing

My boy is 20 months next Friday and we still contact nap, he'd probs be fine without me there and sometimes he'll take himself across the bed, but this is when I manage to do big chunks of work in peace, so it works for us x

I know I’m going to miss them when she stops wanting to 😭, I’m just worried how she’ll do once she starts daycare

My eldest just decided he didn't want to contact nap anymore at about 3 months. My 6 month old is still having some contact naps, although he is fighting it now. I just do it when he's really overtired and can't settle himself in the cot

3.5 months? Honestly I needed them to stop. And I hope I dont get slack for even saying that but sitting multiple times a day every day for hours on end was killing me. I’d often just sit and cry. It was dreadful watching everything else around me carry on and I was stuck sitting. My baby has also been a good independent night sleeper for a long time, so when he started to nap on his own it was a game changer for my mood.. Of course, if he needs it every now and then I will happily do it with him, but honestly, (he’s 4.5 months old now) he prefers to sleep on his own, gets much better naps in AND I’m happier which makes me a better mom to him when he is awake 😊

Around 5 months I stopped holding my baby for his naps. But I would lay with him and often take a nap with him until I returned to work when he was 8 months. He will still contact nap with my husband sometimes but is able to be transferred to the bed more often now when my husband is with him. My baby is 13 months now. I miss the contact naps sometimes. But I also really enjoy that time for myself. On the weekends, I will sometimes still take a nap with him. Or just cuddle him for his naps when I want to.

Contact napped with my first until she stopped napping at 3 years old & will be doing the same with my 16 month old 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s just easier lol.

I honestly never wanted to stop, it was my favourite thing to do. I would always rock Freddie to sleep at night then transfer the moment he turned 1 he started to get agitated with me doing it and just wanted to be put down in his bed to sleep. Broke my heart 😂 I don't think he ever took any naps in his bed x

we stopped contact napping around 10 months, when we finally transitioned him to his crib in his own room. he still slept in our room up until then, so we thought practicing naps in his crib and dropping the contact naps might help the night transition to his room. some days i really miss the contact naps, but it is nice to not be nap trapped and be able to eat and use the bathroom lol

Somewhere between 12-17 months. My second was born when my first was 17 months, so I had to slowly cut back because I knew I couldn’t do it with both

10 months when my son stopped going down. Usually we’d lay on the bed and he’d nurse and then pass out. Around 10m he stopped getting drowsy and instead got a burst of energy and would spring up trying to play with me. He was trying to play so much he tried skipping the whole nap! So i decided to put him in his crib and say ok it’s nap time! id leave and he played a bit then laid down and went to sleep! *he was sleep trained with Ferber method at night already so he went down super easy!*

I very seldom contact napped with my firstborn, she was such a light sleeper during the daytime naps around/after the 4 month regression. So, she had to be in complete silence & in her own sleep space. I did a lot more contact napping with my 2nd baby & would've continued a bit longer with contact naps. Only thing was after my husband returned to work (he shared my maternity leave) & I was at home with my eldest child & baby. It wasn't fair on my eldest for her baby sister to have contact naps. So unfortunately, I had to stop.

I will stop contact napping when she stops needing me for comfort. She won't sleep without a human at the moment. Fights sleep like a crazy demon. Litrally will fight naps for hours without a cuddle and off like a light with a cuddle but will wake as soon as she's put down.

6-8 months but that's because he wouldn't contact nap after that. He is 15 months old and has wanted to take more contact naps again.

I contact nap with my 16 month old whenever I can. No better feeling 😍

My baby going to be 2 in April and we still sleeping together

I contact nap when either of my boys wants it. My 3yr old will snuggle up at bedtime and fall asleep sometimes, then I transfer him to his bed. He will still want contact naps when sick sometimes. My 7mo old still sleeps part of most nights on me (usually the early morning)

So my sons 9 months old and for Naps I do the same as bedtime (get him to sleep on me with a bottle usually then transfer him to the cot once asleep) he first slept (at night) in his cot & own room at 6 months old, i only started to put him in there for naps about a month later as it was safer than having him on the sofa especially when I needed to get things done round the house x

2 years on and still contact napping and cosleeping. I’m sure he’ll grow out of it one day.

15-16 months

She just turned 2 and we still contact nap. She opens my arms, climbs right in and will ask for chi chi nap haha
