We've started trying to convince Eleri to nap for a reasonable amount of time in her crib. She was napping there, but only for 20-30 minutes at a time. I kept reading that they have to learn to fall asleep there if they're going to sleep for longer, so instead of rocking her all the way to sleep, I rocked her to drowsy and put her in.
She did NOT approve. She would NOT lie down. Poor thing was so tired, but soooo stubborn!
Every time I tried to lay her down, she'd get mad, and sit right back up again and do this. So I ended up swaddling her and she napped for a little while. Then this morning I swaddled her at the beginning, and she slept for 90 minutes. She was probably worn out from all her protest sit/sleeping.
That was good enough for FHV. But I am very frustrated because I didn't ever get to see what happened next. Did she fall over or give up and lie down?
ReplyDeleteI laughed all the way through the clip.
ReplyDeleteWhat a determined little booger!!! You do know this doesn't bode well for your future...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing as Fannie. Did she eventually lay down?
ReplyDeleteToo adorable!
Glad she's sleeping better now.
It makes life so much easier to handle.
