thank you so much, yeah i've been using the 4 s's for the most part. We tried a nap this morning, i swaddled her and gave her her binky,shh-ed her etc.. You are totally right about her body weight and putting her down. i rocked her to sleep and as soon as i put her down she woke up. but i left her in her basinet and shh-ed/patted and after an hour she fell asleep! You mentioned her being young. i've heard conflicting advice on this...some say she's too young and not to worry about her laying down for naps yet, while others have said it's never too early to start a routine. i don't want to force anything on her but i feel like i'm depriving her of good sleep if she's only getting cat naps in my arms. what do you think? when will a baby really start "remembering" and getting into bad habits?
