1. Make sure your baby is well-fed
One of the common reasons why a baby doesn’t want to nap is because they’re hungry. Make sure your baby has been fed before you try putting them down for their nap. A full stomach will help them feel more comfortable and content.
2. Create a calm environment
Just like adults, babies need a calm and quiet environment to fall asleep in. When it’s time for their nap, dim the lights or close the curtains and make sure there’s minimal noise in the room.
3. Swaddle your baby
Swaddling is an effective way of helping babies sleep as it mimics the feeling of being in the womb. Wrap your baby tightly in a swaddle blanket or use a specially designed swaddle suit.
4. Try white noise
White noise can help soothe babies and create a calming environment for them to fall asleep in. You can use white noise from an app or invest in a white noise machine.
5. Stick to a routine
Babies thrive on routine, so try and stick to regular nap times each day so they know what to expect. A consistent routine will help regulate their sleep patterns and make it easier for them to fall asleep during their daytime naps.
6. Watch out for over-stimulation
Sometimes, if there are too many activities happening around your child, they become too stimulated making it difficult for them to settle down when they want to take their naps or even go back sleeping. Ensure that there’s no noise around the baby, and if they are in a room with other people, make sure it is quiet or put up a board simply saying “please be quiet, baby is asleep.”
7. Check the temperature
If the room is too hot or too cold, it can make it difficult for your baby to settle down for their nap. Make sure their sleeping area is at a comfortable temperature to help your baby sleep peacefully.
In conclusion, getting your baby to sleep during the day might seem like an impossible task, but with these tips, you’ll be able to create a soothing environment that will encourage them to fall asleep. By sticking to a routine and following these simple steps, you’ll be able to help your baby get all the rest they need for healthy development. Remember that every child is different and might not adjust immediately so try all ways until you find the one that works for them.

My sleep deprivation was affecting every aspect of my life. I read several books on sleep training, as well as blogs and websites. I was at my wits end. After following the program for two weeks, my child was consistently sleeping 11-12 hours a night and was on a consistent schedule during the day! This program has literally given me my life back." - McKel Neilsen "Two months ago I was at the end of my sleep rope with our 6-month-old, boy/girl twins. Exhausted doesn't begin to explain it, I felt desperate. After using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method we feel like we have our lives back. The babies are happy and well rested, and so are we! We have our evenings back to cook dinner, spend time with our 4-year-old daughter, hang out together, and actually do things we enjoy. The process took commitment but has been absolutely worth every bit of it." - Beth Oller, MD "Using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method, my daughter quickly went to a routine nap schedule during the day and sleeping through the night from 6:30pm to 6:30am! Also, rather than the exhausting and often unsuccessful rocking or soothing or feeding to sleep, we were able to put her down awake in her crib and she would fall asleep on her own in just a few minutes. It was just incredible." - Online Review...

Description : Everything you need to know about getting your baby or toddler to sleep -- from America's foremost baby and childcare experts. Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught. The Sears family has learned from decades of pediatric practice, bolstered by their own parenting experiences, that different babies have different nighttime temperaments -- and, of course, different families have different lifestyles. Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family. With a sharp focus on the practical tools and techniques, The Baby Sleep Book covers such topics as: The facts of infant sleep vs. adult sleep Figuring out where, when, and how your child sleeps best Fail-safe methods for soothing a crying infant How to make night nursing easier, and how to stop Nighttime fathering tips Whether co-sleeping makes sense for you Nap-time strategies that work Medical and physical causes of night waking Sleep habits in special situations such as traveling, teething, and illness...
