This is what I do sometimes as well. Other times I just let her nap in my lap and instead of worrying about what else I should be doing, I enjoy the snuggle time with her. DD is 8 months old and enjoys crawling around and playing ("helping") while I do chores around the house. So I focus on those things while she is awake, and enjoy a little down time when she naps.

I have a 4 1/2 month old. Somehow we can only get him to take his three naps in the Ergo carrier. I know it's becoming a bad habit and tiring for all of us, but it's more frustrating getting him in the crib. My husband somehow does it and gets him to also nap in our bed at times. I take care of baby on the weekend and my dad takes care of the baby during the week. My dad carries him in the Ergo for all naps unless he is driving a car or using a stroller. I hope my baby grows out of this eventually because he is heavy. He's about 17 pounds. I would rather have him take good naps in a carrier instead of being cranky. He's fine at night though. He goes to bed at 7 pm in his Arm's Reach Cosleeper and wakes for a feeding at 4 am. Then goes back to sleep till about 7 am. Daytime is just the challenge though.
