Help! Started EASY - can't get baby to sleep without crying
« on: June 04, 2006, 02:30:01 am »
Hi! I have a 4 month old who is on a 3 hour routine, but I can't get her to sleep without her crying. She seems to fit into the "spirited" and "grumpy"  temperaments. I just hate hearing her cry.  :( She has been a crier since day one...I was hoping it would get better....Any suggestions? THANKS!!!!!

What is her wind-down routine?

Also, are you going by her cues or are you waiting for the 3 hour mark to get her to sleep? If she gets tired by, say, 2.5 hours, you should try putting her down for her nap then instead of having her wait half an hour more.  You'd be surprised what a difference 30 minutes (or even 5 minutes for some babies) can make!!

Another question... how long are her naps?
