When DD came home we did the put in the crib drowsy thing. Very easy as she was a very sleepy girl for a while. (35 wk preemie). Somewhere along the line, this stopped working. Can't remember if it was with an ear infection or not. The summer ended up as a blur.
Throw in reflux and the wrong formula(for a while), and we ended up rocking to sleep. Naughty parents. We got the right medicine and formula and started putting her in right after she fell asleep. She would kind of wake up, squirm and go back to sleep. Within the last 10 days she has started going into her crib awake and drowsy. I'm not 100% sure how that started. Sometimes she talks to her animals for a bit and falls asleep. Other times, we may not hear a peep out of her at all. What I find strange is once in a while she will fuss, start to cry. Then all of a sudden, total silence. Not any sort of a wind down, just like a switch. Yesterday I was about to go in as she was crying for about 2 minutes, escalated from fussing. Then silence. I peeked in and she was sound asleep. Since I have way more experience with "special needs" kids than "typical" ones, I have no idea if this is something they just do. How can she be crying one minute and asleep the next? The crying only lasts a few minutes before she is out. She does the same thing at daycare. Sorry for the disjointed thoughts, gotta love that night shift, NOT. Thanks!!!!!!
