Apparently Mommy naps beat crib naps

[katfco]

DS's naps have never been consistent, but a lot of mornings he'll end  up napping on me for a short time. Except yesterday it was for about 90 minutes. So today I took him upstairs for a nap and he flipped. I figured he wasan't ready yet and brought him downstairs, where he became all smiles and snuggled up for his bottle and fell asleep.

I know I've probably created a bad habit, but it's an excellent excuse for getting nothing done (except probing!). Plus, I can practice my one handed typing.

Anyone else creating bad habits?

Ummm. My child still takes his naps in my arms. Has since he was born. I have no idea how to fix that. I tried CIO once for naps and we failed miserably.

I love baby/mommy naps I nurse X to sleep every.single.night with no plans on stopping. I also let him comfort nurse as long as he wants. I'm sure it'll come back to bite me in the ass, but for now I love it.

I am starting a BAD habit of putting her highchair on the lowest setting (so she can reach the tray) and I put a snack on there and let her graze. Basically I let her walk around and eat. It's a good thing she likes our vacuum though because I have to follow her and vacuum up her crumbs. I don't know how to stop this habit either. I guess I feel like I am free to graze on food, why shouldn't she be able to? I hope it is helping her become more independent and not teaching her that she can just walk around and never sit to eat.

She DOES sit in her chair for meals though...

I have another...after my DD is finished eating dinner and I am still eating, I will let her eat a few bites off of my plate as she walks around. TERRIBLE, I know!

I love it but it's also annoying because I can't get anything done. I can't even reach my water so I get dehydrated, and I'm a really slow one-handed typer so I can't probe as well as I'd like. (priorities, I know)

I'm trying to break this habit too. I feel like he's always eating.
