    Fluff up the pillow first. Then, pull back the blanket enough so that he or she can lie down.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/78\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-15.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-15.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/78\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-15.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-15.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Make sure that your teddy's head is on the pillow. The body should be on the mattress.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/b2\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-16.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-16.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/b2\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-16.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-16.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Your teddy won't nap if it is too cold. If it is a warm day, then leave the blanket off.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-17.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-17.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3d\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-17.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-17.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Teddy bears are light sleepers. If it is too bright or noisy, your teddy won't fall asleep.
    • If you can't turn down the lights, or if it is day time, cover your teddy bear's eyes with a long sock. You can also use a folded tissue.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-18.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-18.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-18.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-18.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Sometimes, teddies need to nap while you are in a car or on an airplane. If this happens, let your teddy nap in your arms. You can also fold a jacket into a square and place it down on the seat next to you. Your teddy can use the jacket as a pillow.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a2\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-19.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-19.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a2\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-19.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-19.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Lean over your teddy bear and kiss him or her on the nose. Tell your teddy bear that it is time to get up. Take the blanket off. Don't be too loud, or your teddy bear will get grumpy.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d7\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-20.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-20.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d7\/Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-20.jpg\/aid3303227-v4-728px-Get-a-Teddy-Ready-for-a-Nap-Step-20.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If your teddy bear was wearing any daytime clothes before, put those back on. Don't forget to put your teddy's PJs away, so they don't get dirty.
