victory! he slept in his crib :)

For multiple reasons we had to move Kieran from the pack n' play in our room to his crib in the nursery and I'm proud to say he slept seven hours in it last night :D He woke up one time for a quick diaper change and feeding but other than that he was out. We're trying to start a bedtime routine with a bath, feeding and then bed by 8:30. Only thing is we couldn't get him down until midnight and that was after many attempts. Suggestions?

  • It's not set in stone. I'm just happy he'll sleep in his crib, no matter what time it is :)

    He hates swaddling but music might work.

  • DS goes down between 89 but we make sure he is up from 5ish to bedtime. Works great for us. DS is 4 weeks old and slept from 96:30. My daughter slept through the night early on too. Keeping them up in the afternoon has worked for both of them.
