It only took 6 weeks to figure out...

.....That when DD is tired when I put her down in her crib, she will stop crying in less than 2 minutes instead of crying for 20+ minutes when I tried holding her, walking the floor with her, rocking her, putting her in her swing or car seat.  My poor DD just wanted to be left alone.  Every kid is a new experience!  (Slaps forehead with hand)

I would do the same thing! I fussed at my fiance because I heard the baby crying, walked out of the bathroom and saw her in her bouncy chair. I told him if she was crying, pick her up. Turns out she had been fussing when he was holding her and calmed down in the chair.

It took me 8 weeks! Don't feel bad!

We figured out the same thing!  It just didn't occur to us that she was saying - leave me alone!  But the minute we set her down in her crib she would stretch out happily and then start to doze off.

It took me 2 days...by accident.  She got fussy around 7:30, and nothing helped to settle her down.  And I had to go to the bathroom very badly, so I put her down in her crib.  When I came back to her, she was happily dozing off...  The next day, I put her in her crib at 7:30 fully awake, and she fell asleep happily on her own!  My son was a super clingy baby, so I expected the same thing from my daughter, but I guess not!  This time I got lucky!

DD was and pretty much still is like this.  I love it.  It took me a while to figure it out when she was a newborn, the thought never occurred to me because DS#1 had to be held or have constant motion to sleep.  (He is still the less stellar sleeper).  I am still trying to figure out what works best for DS#2...I think he's a combo so far   Be thankful you got one of "those" babies - I'm sure you are!
