[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a sling. Stuff the baby in it. Go for walks if you can. I went all Swedish on our baby and put her outside constantly.  She probably spent like7-9 hours outdoors as a newborn. I wanted her to learn to sleep surrounded by noise. This is NOT one of those houses where people tip-toe around during naps, and I have created a baby who can sleep anywhere. In a restaurant, in the mall, on a walk, etc. We are not slaves to the nap, rushing home for it. [/quote]

How old is your baby?  As much as you would like to believe it, this is not as easy to control as you make it out to be.  My baby used to be able to nap anywhere.  We'd literally have him nap in the living room with us as we entertained guests or watched TV.  He would sleep at the mall, really anywhere.  Now at 8 months he's just too interested in the world to nap out and about.

OP, my advice is to ignore people like PP who think they have everything figured out.  Every baby is different.  You do the best with the card that you're dealt.[/quote]
