Hi JH, I used various ways to let my fussy baby Vee nap. Morning nap with me in bed (suckled whenever needed), 1 nap in rocking chair or hammock (aka sarong), 1 nap in sarong sling. This way, he didn’t got “addicted” to only 1 sleeping method. When he grew older, I managed to carry and bounce him till asleep, then place on bed.

If he tried to wake up after 30-45 min, I quickly helped him go back to sleep (carry / nurse / pat, whatever works). Eventually, he started falling asleep by himself and sleeping through his 2-hour nap, at 18 months old. Better late than never. He’s a rare case of fussy sleeper.

You may get more ideas from Elizabeth Pantley’s books because every baby is different.

Hi! My girl is exactly the same — She is 12 weeks now and insists on being carried or rocked to sleep. Some days it’s impossible for me to put her down for a nap because my arms get so tired of carrying her. I wanted to ask, how did you manage to get your baby to nap once he outgrew the bouncy chair? I’m worried that if I start her on the bouncy chair, she won’t be able to fall asleep once she outgrows it.

Congratulations to you too, Tity! I simply let hubby bath together with Vee after his work. If he’s outstation or works too late, then I got to do it. Quite squashed to have a preggie mum and toddler in bath tub in the bathroom.

Hi Tity, it’s been a while since we last used and washed the rocker. But I do remember putting the whole cover with board into the washing machine, and it comes out fine.
