How do I get my baby to stop catnapping?
Putting your baby to bed while she's drowsy but still awake can also help her learn to fall back asleep if aroused, because she'll recognize the space she was in when she dozed off—which gives babies some of the comfort they need to return to sleep. Short naps can also sometimes be fixed by not rushing in right away.
