Contact naps—when your baby sleeps while being held.

Contact naps—when your baby sleeps while being held—are incredibly common in the early months of parenthood. They offer comfort, bonding, and emotional security for infants, while many parents enjoy the closeness. However, as babies grow, parents often begin to wonder when to stop contact naps and how to transition toward independent sleep. There’s no single “right” age, but understanding your baby’s development can help you decide the best time to make this change.
