Two more weeks and my baby will turn 1! Time flies so fast that soon he'll be in day care. I see to it that the specified time I set-up for him for regular naps will be continued. It is important to his health and development. I learned from his pediatrician that establishing a regular nap time can help avoid some kids sleeping problems and will keep them happy, healthy and more alert.
How about if my baby will be in day care? Here in our school, their daycares have a specified nap time set-up that all toddlers have to follow. What if my toddler may find it difficult to sleep somewhere that isn't his home? I hope sending along one of his favorite stuffed toys for him will help him settle down with at nap time. They said that having a familiar comfort from home can often help.
I learned from my Thai co-teachers that having a nap mat can also help make nap time more inviting when your toddler is away from home. Nap mats can easily be rolled up which makes them great for traveling with. Some nap mats even come with built in pillows and blankets that are sewn onto one side of the mat, making sleeping on it much more comfortable. They can also be sent along to your toddler's daycare, which may help him look forward to napping.
Talking about nap mat, I found at Posy Lane mint nap mats that are padded and lined with nylon and cotton with a ribbon trimmed, soft, fleecy blanket. It rolls up and has a Velcro closure with carrying strap. It has a soft fleece blanket attached and a removable foam pillow. To clean, you'll just remove kid and pillow, then toss the rest in the washing machine. It's perfect for daycare, preschool or kindergarten. For me, I'll buy this aqua nap mat for my little boy:

Another on-the-go products from Posy Lane that made me fell in love the first time I laid my eyes on it is their cute Sports Stephen Joseph quilted backpack. It is made made from vinyl and the backpack is very easy to take care of. You'll just wipe with a damp cloth.There is plenty of room for all of my child’s belongings . It is also ideal for use as a small diaper bag.The backpack is adorable just the way it is, but even cuter with my child’s name embroidered on it.
isn't this adorable?
isn't this adorable?By the way, my youngest sister will be coming over with my parents next week. I am eyeing for this Girls Rule Stephen Joseph Backpack for her. This is so cool for her especially when she'll use this back to school on November. She'll surely love this! I can't wait to purchase them all next month.
