So after months of rocking and walking, shusshing my LO for her naps on Tuesday I decided enough is enough. My LO would just fuss and squirm all over me, so I thought she was having enough as well. So on Tuesday for her naps (she always napped in our bed) I placed her in her crib on her belly and a stuffed animal she is always carrying around (she never goes to bed with anything so I thought I'd give it to her for a nap). After 5 minutes of fussing on and off she was out for the count. It is now Friday and the naps are so easy. The minute she is showing tired signs I place her on her belly in the crib, turn on the sheep noise maker, give her the stuffed animal and shut her door. In 2 minutes or less she is passed out.

God I hope this lasts!!! It also helped last night. LO has been waking at 3 or 330 after 8 solid hours of sleep. At 3 or 330 its been tough to get her back to bed, I usually have to rock or bed share but lately its been an hour plus to get her back to bed. Nope, not last night....She woke at 3:30 and I put her on belly, rubbed her back and 20 minutes later she was PASSED OUT and didnt get up until 6:45. It felt AMAZING to get up before her for once, have a cup of coffee, and relax!!!

thats great!  I used to rock mine to sleep to but he got to the point last month he was just squirming around as well....its almost like BLW  but not with food its with how they go to sleep.

Last week Audrey just started falling asleep in her crib too. This never happend before I was frustrated and tired and she wanted to play. I put her in her crib and walked away. 2 minutes later silence, I go to check on her and she is sound asleep on her tummy. She has done this 3 times since then.
