    Co-sleepers, how do you do daytime naps

    Just curious as to how the rest of y'all do day time naps. I have to be there with baby, most of the time holding him (hes been sick alot so got use to being held to sleep) but sometimes I can put him down and he falls asleep on the bed. it means I have to leave my older child alone for however long it takes baby to fall asleep, and Im not very happy with that idea

    Well, when we were still co-sleeping, I would either lie down with Maya on my bed and wait for her to go to sleep (often, I fed her to sleep). When she started crawling, I would then transfer her to the cot, once she was asleep. Once she understood that she can't climb out of bed, I let her sleep on my bed. I still do that, but she falls asleep really quickly now (5 minutes).
    Or I let her sleep in the Hug-A-Bub.

    Hi there
    My DS#2 is 8 months old and co-sleeping. At the moment as he still hardly rolling he goes to sleep in my arms and then I put him on our bed. I am keen to transfer him into the cot for day sleeps & first at night, but so far I have been just too tired to bother. Perhaps next week? LOL - oooh I am so "setting myself up!"
