Alabama Babies

Monica...

Hey, I was thinking about caleb's sleep issues and I wonder if maybe a little aromatherapy/baby massage might help him relax/soothe?  try doing a baby massage of lotion with a drop or two of lavendar oil.  Lavendar is a natural soothing/calming aroma and it might help him relax a little

Re: Monica...

  • We have that lavendar baby lotion (Johnson & Johnsons I think?) that we put on him after his bath.  We've always used it on him b/c I love the smell...not really sure it's ever helped him sleep though.  Haven't tried to massage him with it though.  Maybe we'll do that tonight.  Haley has some lavendar/vanilla linen spray that she sprays on her pillow at night.  She loooooves it.  Maybe I'll sneak a little to put on his crib sheets!

    Last night, he went to bed at 8:00 and woke at 10 something and Jim brought him directly into our bed b/c we were just too tired to deal with it.  He slept solid all night long.  I think that little stinker has just been manipulating us to get in our bed every night.  LOL!  I'm getting kinda used to him being in there with us now.  I really don't want it to become a habit though.
