Jennifer’s Story: My Husband Thought I Was Crazy

“My daughter, Ada, has always been a good night sleeper, even from a very young age. But she did not nap well during the day at all. I had trouble accepting the N.A.P.S. plan at first. It was counterintuitive that after sleeping for eleven hours at night, Ada would need to go down for another nap in the early morning.

“But I started putting her down to sleep 90 minutes after she woke up in the morning, and that worked. She really needed the sleep; she started getting fussy if she didn’t get it. My husband thought I was crazy until he saw how it worked.

“One problem we’ve had is that there is a lot of pressure now to take your baby out with you everywhere, to continue your life with your newborn baby along. I don’t think people had this issue ten or fifteen years ago. You’re supposed to go to lunches and parties and go shopping and just bring your baby along with you. Other parents we know have babies who sleep in infant seats and travel gear. A few of them seem to get nice long naps even when they’re parked in their strollers. But my baby has never been very good at sleeping in public. She really needed to be helped to sleep even in the first weeks. It isn’t always easy to resist the social calendars, but I know that one of the reasons I’m staying at home these early months is to adapt to my baby’s needs.”
