Do you have a baby who won't nap like this one used to not want to nap?
I have some suggestions that might help you and it's not duct tape.
I'm just joking. That might work, but don't do it. Hold on and I'll tell you
about them.
I know mostly mommies who have littles probably know quite a bit about naps, but
for those of you who might be struggling like I was just up until recently when my
brain kind of kicked back in, I have some suggestions and the things that have been
working really well for us. Number one is swaddling. For those of you that might
have followed along with our journey up into this point, you will probably
remember that my littlest refused to be swaddled for the first few months and
refused the paci. So, that was rough, but now that we're about five months, she is
now taking both which is the weirdest thing, but it has revolutionized nap time.
So, number one, swaddle. I know, I know. Duh. But I promise she wouldn't do it.
So, now what we do is where you're doing the double swaddle. I think there's
probably videos out there about how to do it, but we do the double swaddle.
So I take one of the large swaddle cloths, and I tuck the swaddle underneath this arm
and then the swaddle over and underneath this arm. So, she can't move,
and then I either stick her in an actual zip-up sleep sack, a tight one,
or I do another swaddle cloth around her. Because here's the deal,
if she can move any part of her arms or...well, not so much legs.
But if she can move her arms, if she can wiggle, she ain't going to sleep.
So, we're talking mummy style. So, that's number one, is the swaddle.
Number two is noisemakers. Noisemakers. And I'm not talking about the baby,
I'm talking about noisemakers you can buy on Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond or
whatever. We actually have two. We have a nice little noisemaker that does rain
sounds, and then we have another one that's kind of got a low tone.
Will show you what they look like. So, I have...shh, baby.
I have two. One on one side of her room and then on the other side to kind of
help with sound.
Number three is blackout curtains. Now I'm not talking about just like a dark-colored
curtain, I'm talking about the thick can't see through it. We're talking like...oh
no. Oh no. I think that I might need to go get that baby. So, the blackout curtains.
Those are the kinds that you get at like...you can get the fabric at Jo-Ann's
or whatever or you can buy them. They're expensive, but they're worth it.
And then the last thing is we use a pacifier. Now that she'll actually take
it, we definitely take advantage of the pacifier. I know that not everybody wants
to do that, but it really helps with our naps.
So, those are the four things that we have been using and it's been fantastic.
Here is precious baby in the bed getting ready to be swaddled.
It's close to her nap time, so if she starts to freak out, then you know why.
Okay, so she's got her paci. So we're going to take this side and tuck it under
her bum and then we're going to take this side and tuck it under her bum.
I'm less worried about her legs honestly because she doesn't...doesn't really
matter. So, will tuck that there, will take this one, roll her just a little bit.
Get it tucked under loosely, kind of throw that up over her feet.
Boom. Burrito baby. And she can't really move very much. So, this is our swaddle
for nap.
So, these are the two sound makers that we use. There's this one right here,
the dome. Got it off of Amazon. There's two levels, there's high and low.
This one is the high. And you can kind of adjust what it sounds
like by moving the top and this is also...and I don't have it plugged in
because it's actually from a different spot. This is the HoMedics and it has a
couple different options on here that make it really cool. There's thunder,
ocean, broke, summer night rain and white noise and it also has a timer for 15,
30 or 60 minutes. This one is really great and it's kind of got the volume levels.
So, I have both of these going in her room for nap time. Full speed,
one on one side of the room and the other on the other side and it makes it pretty
quiet in here. So, it works out really well.
All right. The next thing is the blackout curtains. So, I've got some nice brown
curtains here. So, it looks pretty, but underneath of it is the actual real deal
thing. So at some point in time, I'm going to sew these in, but for now, this works
really well. So, what I did is I went to Jo-Ann's and I got this really thick
material. And as you can see, it's pretty bright outside but can't tell because I've
got that on the windows, then I just keep it nice and closed. So, when we have it
closed, when I've got everything closed off, it's dark as a tomb in here which is
fantastic for helping my little sleep.
I know some mamas don't use pacis and that's totally okay, but we do.
We're a paci-using family or always the youngest one is anyway.
The oldest one, actually, we just got the oldest one to get rid of hers.
She's four and a half so we took it away probably about six months ago.
So if you're interested in that video, you can watch it. Somewhere up here, there
will be a link. Anyway, last but not least, the paci, and she likes it and it's
about nap time, friends, so I'm going to wrap up. Thank you so much for watching,
