Bridging Naps

Bridging naps come in handy those times when your little one wakes up early in the morning or from a daytime nap. They are a small 10-15 minutes naps that will help your little one get to their next normal nap time.

They work great for babies under 6 months old and they're so simple to do! They are best achieved in your arms, the pram or the carrier. However, if you can get them to go down in their cot, that’s great too! Just remember to wake them up after the 10-15 minute mark if you are using it as a bridging nap. 

Assisted Naps 

Assisted naps for for the mums who have an overtired bub on their hands. We've all been there and it's not fun! So if this is you, I suggest that you try assisted naps to get you back on track.

Assisted naps are naps naps where you actively help your little one for a day or two to get them back to feeling well-rested. Assisted naps includes naps in the carrier, in the pram, while feeding or rocking them to sleep.

And don't worry, using assisted naps for a short period of time will not undo any good work you have done with settling in the cot or bassinet. It is much better to assist them in catching up on those much needed ZZZ's than miss a nap entirely. This will not only hugely improve your bedtime putdown, but also give you some time to catch your breathe and maybe even sneak in a hot drink!
