quick question

So, I am on day 2 of trying to get LO to sleep on his back in the crib.  Yesterday I got a 25 minute stretch and today I got a 30 minute stretch.  Of course, yesterday he was a zombie after hours of trying to keep him down, so we went for a drive.  Do I press on for the rest of the week or longer?  WWYD?  Thank you for your advice!

Have you tried swaddling? That is the only way I could get my daughter to stay asleep on her back. She would fight it at first and sometimes cry but fell asleep quickly and stayed asleep.

I found the velcro swaddlers to be better at holding her in than regular swaddling blankets.

this.

and yes, I would keep trying. my LO refuses naps and only now after over a week of trying, she will finally go down for one nap in the morning somewhat easily. you just have to keep at it.

Thanks Ladies-he is delirious right now, I think that we'll try again.  He is swaddled, in a sleep positioner with a fan on for noise in the background.  I appreciate your feedback :-)

It just takes some babies a while to get a hang of the whole sleeping thing. A crib isn't quite the womb he's used to. He'll get it. I know that doesn't make it easier on you now, but he will.
