Nap Traps & Contact Naps: How to Make It Work for You

Madison Fugere Season 2 Episode 12

Welcome back to The Postpartum Plan podcast! In this episode, I’m diving into newborn naps—specifically, what I like to call "nap traps" and how to balance contact naps with your own needs.

Tune in to hear:

👉 What "nap traps" are and why they happen
👉 The science behind newborn naps and why babies rely on contact sleep
👉 How to balance contact naps while still meeting your own needs
👉 Practical strategies to transfer your baby without waking them
👉 Tips to extend short naps when needed

Nap traps can make you feel stuck, but contact naps are completely normal and beneficial! Whether you love them or want more flexibility, this episode is packed with strategies to help you find a balance that works for you and your baby.
