Frances has a major case of Put-Me-Down-And-I-Wake-Up-itis. Mark was wearing Frances around the apartment in her Snugli, trying to get Frances to take a nap. But then our new stroller arrived in the mail and needed to be put together, immediately, so Frances got deposited on the bed. Then I took this picture. Then ten seconds elapsed and she woke up. So much for the nap, but it might have worked!Friday, January 22, 2010
Whatever works

Try tightly swaddling her for naps!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but we never really get to that point. Besides, we have tried swaddling her. We've tried giving her a pacifier. We've tried feeding her a lot. We've tried Harvey Karp's recommendations. We've tried putting her in the swing. I tried leaving her in her crib to cry it out today...The kid sleeps when she wants to sleep, and as far as I can tell from the Healthy Sleep book, we're just supposed to go with it until she's four months old. I'm counting down the weeks.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't she sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteShe is, she is...And when she does get a good sleep and then wakes up, she's all smiles and coos. It's to die for really.
ReplyDeleteShe loves to sit up and watch everything that goes on around her. She doesn't want to sleep she wants to learn. Remember how she would follow you around the apartment trying to find you. She is going to be smart like her dad and mom. :)
