Does Actually Sleeping help with naps too?
Yes. With Actually Sleeping, naps are coached until solid, not left for later. Parents in this video went from contact naps, rocking and pushing a swing for whole naps to babies napping on their own, in the crib and on the go. Several describe getting time back in their day to rest, work or cook.
What parents who had this worry say
“It was something that before was completely unpredictable. We didn’t know if he would nap, when he would nap, how long he would nap. It was all over the place.”
“And we ended up having to put him in a plastic swing and push him for the entire nap.”
“Also, her naps during the day were difficult because we could only do contact naps with her, and we had to rock her to sleep.”
“All her naps are now in the crib. She sleeps all her naps by herself now.”
“He can take his naps in his crib and on the go. He doesn’t need to be held.”
“I’m able to have nap time to myself, either to nap or to cook or fold laundry.”
Why naps worry parents
Naps are often harder than nights. There is less sleep pressure behind them, a short nap can throw off the rest of the day, and many babies will only nap on a parent or in motion. Parents worry that sleep help fixes nights and leaves the days a mess.
The parents in this video describe days built around swings, rocking and contact naps, and what changed.
How Actually Sleeping handles naps
Naps are part of the plan from the start. Dr. Sam writes the day around your baby’s age and needs, and the coaching before night one covers naps as well as nights. Daily 1:1 check-ins continue while naps settle, and naps are coached until solid. Families describe babies who nap in the crib and also on the go.
Parents in this video describe what that means for their days: crib naps instead of contact naps, a baby who goes right down at nap time, and time to rest, cook or fold laundry. With Actually Sleeping, naps are part of the plan from the start, not an add-on.
