How do you get your Baby down for a nap??

In our bedroom, we have this mp4 instrumental (violin, piano, saxophone ) music for my babies. I have 3 babies, (6yr girl, 4yr boy, 1yr girl) I would let the bedroom be a cozy place to nap. After a while, they will be asleep. Try these: 1. Set a schedule or routine for their nap 2. Make the bedroom suitable for taking nap 3. Know what your baby's attitude in sleeping 4. Lull the baby to sleep by putting him/her on your chest while she/he sleeps 5. Hum a song, music while he/she's on your chest 6. Let them drink warm milk before taking a nap 7. Other Good luck to you! zzzzzzz

I conditioned them of making it a habit to take a nap especiaaly in the afternoon. I feed them on the bottle and swing them afterwards. In just few minutes, they are sleeping already.

My older son (who is 7 now) never gave me any trouble (naps or otherwise). He would lay down and sleep on his own. But my second who is 9 (almost 10 months now) gives me lots of trouble. We still haven't been able to figure out what makes him comfortable. He doesn't like being alone...he has a different comfort position every day! And we have to try everything out! We've just figured out a routine now...a list of positions that he might like..lol So, everytime he needs to take a nap..we try out position 1 (which is the one he likes most of the time)...if that doesn't work, we try position 2 and so on till we've tired him out! It's crazy but that's what we have to do. I tried letting him cry himself to sleep...but he's so loud that I can't stand it or else I worry that the neighbours might report me! I'm hoping by 18 months, I can try re-training him with the help of his brother.

I have a nephew whom couldn't be left alone. After he was born, my sister who gave birth to my nephew got so tired of taking care of him. He must be with someone and if he noticed he is left alone, he will start crying. My sister became so thin due to lack of sleep. In a day her routine would be to sit on the sofa and rocking my nephew in the cradle all the time. However it was a relief when she bought an electrical cradle which could rock by itself. So my nephew would think there was always someone by his side all the time. After she bought the thing, she got her life back and she could rest more. Thank god. Until now she uses the electrical cradle. Recently she got another baby and she had no problem getting her baby to sleep.

it depends upon my 10 month old baby's mood. usually he sleeps on his own when he's really very sleepy. we'd just give him a bottle and he'd hold it and suckle til he sleeps. sometimes, when he's been active all day and he cant sleep, we'd rock him a while then he's soon be asleep.

I am a father,and my son 18 months old.He like lay with me and my wife.we must work in day,so we have to let him with his grandmonther.in the night,we all come back to ourself house.so he like stay with us,and refused sleep alone,hate being by himself .and he offen play to 23:00,how tired we are.hehe. i think when he 3years old, i will let him sleep independently,now ,i have no good advice for you,and i have the same problem too.sorry. good luck for your baby.

My baby is 5 months old. I set up a routine for her. The routine is, after she wakes up from her nap, then she will have her feed, then play for 1 hour, then I put her on her cot and play a music from CD for her. She usually sleeps on her own. Maybe you could try to put a music on, so your 18mo does not feel being left alone. Good luck :)
