Episode notes

Contact napping is where a baby, toddler or child spends their nap with all or part of their body in contact with their parent or caregiver. It’s lovely, its necessary, it’s part of parenthood but it can also be intense and tiring too.

In this podcast we discuss:

1 - What is contact napping?
2 - When it works
3 - Is there a point it’s not so good?
4 - How can you move away from contact napping? 
5 - Is it an all or never kind of thing?

Plus, we answer one of your questions about moving away from being nap trapped.
