Quietness during naps

My LO is not napping well I'm thinking that it may be because I have on the tv and make noise (a reasonable amount) during this nap time. I don't want to make him spoiled with always having it quiet during his naps since I know that he won't always get to nap at home in quiet. Do you have it completely quiet during your LO's naptime?

We use a white noise machine at naptime and bedtime. Sometimes I will put him to nap without it and he does ok, but he naps upstairs and I usually stay donwstairs. He is a pretty solid sleeper though.

Oh no, don't be quiet! I make a point to play music or the TV when she's napping.. it helps her nap longer because then any little sounds don't wake her up.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm assuming that you don't stay quiet during night time right?

During the day there is always noise around the house. TV, clanging in the kitchen, misc. house duties...certainly not a serene noisless house by any means. At nighttime, he has a small fan (runs all night) and a sleep sheep (runs for 45 min.) to drowned out any sound and put him into a very restful sleep. We did the fan part because DH and I sleep with a fan and always have, so we didn't want him to be restless when he came in to snuggle with us in bed because of the fan noise.

My LO has a big box fan in his room which helps with noise. We have a 2 story house so you can't hear anything we are doing down stairs from his room. I do agree that it's good to get them used to sleeping in all sorts of conditions and with different noises around them but try a white noise machine. My LO started sleeping MUCH better once we put the fan in his room and turned it on high!

He's still napping! A record breaking 2 hr nap and still going. Now I am afraid to make a noise...lol. Quietness seems to be working but I do not want to be a slave in my own home.

I tend to shush my husband too even though my son can't hear us but no one wants to EVER wake a sleeping baby! Enjoy the free time ;)

The nap was 3 hours. I'm impressed. Next time I will try not to be as quiet as a church mouse (although it seems to have worked).
