Listen "Episode 10: Contact naps"
Episode Synopsis
Contact naps, where you hold your baby throughout their day naps, can be lovely and are especially nice during the first few weeks when you and your baby are figuring out feeding, and learning more about each other.
However, there often comes a point when parents would like their baby to do some naps in their bassinet or cot. Parents might have lots of get done during their baby's nap time - especially if they have older children or paid work to manage. And babies also start to get heavy, so napping in the cot or bassinet can help give your back a rest.
In this episode Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) answer a question from a parent who would like to reduce contact naps and move their 6 month old baby in to the cot at nap time.
