11 month old & stroller naps

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My 11 month old has taken naps only in her stroller since she was 4 months old. I walk her around the living room til she falls asleep, then she'll sleep for 1.5 to 2 hours, twice a day. This has worked really well until recently. Now she resists going into the stroller and I think it's too hot for her now in there. Also, she wants to be able to roll over but she can't. I'd love to transition her to a crib for naps (we cosleep at night), but she has never slept in one. Also, when I try to nurse her to sleep for naps, she won't go to sleep. She's very very social. I've read Pantley's books (nap and sleep), but her ideas for transitioning from motion to still sleeping only work for swings and carseats, not strollers. Anyone have any suggestions? And just to remind you, she won't nurse to sleep for her naps.

One more detail

I should add that I always cover her stroller with a light muslin blanket to block out any visual distractions. I'm afraid that in her crib she'd be too visually distracted to sleep.

Could she be ready to drop a nap? No advice otherwise, sorry. Good luck.

Have you tried maybe wearing her and walking around a little bit? And singing?

My DD can only fall asleep with motion if I sing to her. I plan on slowly weaning her from motion at a certain age by singing to her only or wearing her only.
