contact naps: the love or hate debate

contact naps: the love or hate debate! some parents are all aboard the contact nap train, while others are totally against it. i personally love them, there’s something so special about contact naps. feeling his little breaths and knowing he feels safe with me is everything 🥰 being a mom has taught me to slow down and savor these small moments, but it’s definitely a controversial topic in the parenting world. so let’s break it down…

benefits for baby’s growth & development:

✩ regulates heart rate and breathing

✩ promotes brain development through sensory stimulation

✩ helps build a secure attachment between baby and caregiver

✩ supports emotional development and reduces stress for baby

but, not everyone’s on board with contact naps. some common concerns include:

✩ fear of creating a sleep dependency, making it hard for baby to nap on their own

✩ parents might feel overwhelmed or feel like they’re losing personal time

✩ safety concerns about long naps in unsafe positions

where do you stand on the contact nap debate? i’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! 💕
