 | I can't get my 3 month old to nap in her crib! Does anyone have any suggestions?  Julia was up from 7 a.m. to noon with NO NAP - she was exhausted but wouldn't sleep.  Every time I put her in her crib she got hysterical.  I just broke my own cardinal rule and drove her around just to get her to sleep.  She's now fast asnleep in the car seat.  Has anyone else experienced this? 
 Any suggestions please???

 My son didn't nap in his crib until maybe late 4 months/5 months.  He would only nap in my arms or in the swing.  I would get great 2 hours naps in that swing - oh I miss that!  eventually he did transition to napping in the crib without issue.

 | Re: I can't get my 3 month old to nap in her crib! At that age i'd let her nap wherever she wants! bouncy seat, car seat, on your bed, swing, anywhere! |

 I agree.  We went though a phase where Jack wouldn't nap unless I rocked him in the stroller.

 | Re: I can't get my 3 month old to nap in her crib! I was actually wondering about this myself because Emily sleeps every night and most naps during the day in her bouncy seat.  She will sleep sometimes in the car/carseat but not for long -- but the bouncy seat works wonders!  She hasn't slept in her crib in weeks though and I don't know if this is a problem! |

 How about the swing?

 I am sooooo happy to hear this.  These are the exact places Logan takes naps and I always worried he would never be able to  make the transition to the crib.
 
 When I talked to my Dr about it he said about 4-5 months is when you should start trying to move their naps to the crib.
