    What are your tips for getting LO to sleep in his crib? Right now, he cries as soon as he realizes I have put him in the crib. I try again and again but he seems happiest sleeping in our arms during the day.

    I just had a boy and I'm so excited to play sports, ride bikes, and get dirty with him.

    I'm wondering what you love about having boys?

    Hi Liz!

     Congrats on the newest edition. I was wondering how the dynamics of your relationship changed with your DH after having your children?

    Take my advice with a grain of salt, I have two terrible sleepers of my own but I do remember getting a baby to adjust to that feeling of being put down in a bassinet or crib being a major challenge.

    1- Swaddling is a big part of making that transition work. A good swaddle gives the baby that same feeling that being in your arms gives. 

    2- Temp adjustments... Try throwing a towel in the dryer for a few minutes and laying it in the crib before you put your son down, it may make things a little cosier for him.

     3 - Patience. I don't know anyone who didn't have a little trouble with this topic. It takes time for the baby to get use to his crib but consistancy will help it happen faster.

    We're in the process of registering and it can be a little overwhelming for a first time mom.  I plan on breastfeeding but will need bottles for when I return to work.  Anyone have any suggestions on a good bottle brand to avoid nipple confusion?

    Thank you Liz and PK2. I'm going to work on it this weekend...since my husband will be at home and we can both take turns soothing him in his crib. I refuse to be the only sleepless one :)
