I am a little irritated with my mom and Nana, who didn't share with me the secret of a happy baby and instead made me figure it out myself! (KIDDING!) In BIG BABY NEWS: Annie was crying because she was tired! Apparently babies don't fall asleep just because they're tired. Sometimes they don't fall asleep after being rocked for 30 minutes, driven around in the car, sung too, etc. Thanks to a book from the library and mother's intuition, we are now under a "forced nap regimen" in the Prevatt household. This means naps for Annie, no matter what it takes. Naps in the crib are best, naps in the cosleeper are almost as good; but we'll take naps in the swing, naps in the carseat, or naps while being held. The end result is a happy baby, and we'll work on the where's and the how's later. She's happy and we're happy; I may have things I want to get done, but certainly nothing can be more important than holding Anne if that is where she'll sleep. How long is she going to fit on our chests to nap?
Not ideal, but it works:
Better:
Best:
And yes, I'm holding her in her sling right now while she snoozes! Have a nice day, everyone!
