MIL magic sleep touch

So, DS started STTN last week.  Well, that's basically because he would wake up around 5am and not go back to sleep after nursing.  And then, because he is a cat napper, he was so cranky by the time evening came.

He slept at MIL's last night so DH and I could have a date night.  He woke up at 5:15 so MIL gave him a bottle and set then him back in his pack n play.  He slept until 8am.  I was flabbergasted.  Then, he took an hour and a half nap in the late morning and ANOTHER hour-long nap in the afternoon.  He usually only takes two 20-30 min naps, but today he napped for a total of 2.5 hours, like a normal baby.

She says she just put him down and he fussed for a few minutes each time but went to sleep pretty quickly and easily.   What the hell?  Why doesn't that ever work for me?!

Re: MIL magic sleep touch

  • DD falls asleep to nap a lot easier for her nanny than for me.

  • This happened with Christopher...he would nap 2-2.5 hours when our moms watched him Mon-Thurs however Fri-Sun he only napped for like 40-45 minutes. This past weekend he started taking 2-2.5 hour naps with us. I'm hoping this becomes the norm.
