Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Is this OK or should go get him?

So LO has not napped more than 30 min. today, he usually naps in 2 hour chunks until 5 or so. Well I FINALLY got him to go to sleep in his crib but now he is sort of awake and wiggling around, making noises. I am thinking that unless he starts crying I'm OK to go about getting things done (like eat something finally), but I keep thinking I need to go get him and entertain him or something- or try to get him to go back to sleep by walking miles and miles around his room. I'm hoping he will go back to sleep on his own...

  • If he's not crying, I think it is perfectly fine to take care of yourself!

  • DD does the same thing. I see grunting and wiggling totally different than crying, especially when dd is still mostly asleep. I let her sleep until she's really awake or I hear a big poo take place. lol
  • You are fine.  Do not feel bad!!  You need to take care of yourself to be able to take care of your baby!  Have you tried some white noise??  That REALLY helped my LO calm down to go to sleep.  Best purchase I ever made.

    This..

  • Oh yeah, the white noise is awesome. Luckily the Pack N Play in our room and the swing in his room have the same noise that he likes :)
    Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not being a neglectful parent!
