getting 7 week old to sleep with 2 year old
« on: August 24, 2007, 20:23:58 pm »
Hi,

I am new to babywhisperer.com. I have a 7 week old touch baby who has some difficulty getting into a deep sleep (once she is there she is good). Although, it has improved tremendously in the last 2 weeks. She is on a 3 hour easy and will fall asleep for her first nap without any assistance. As the day goes on, she falls apart (and often so do her naps). My husband is not home in the late afternoon/evening (we work opposite schedules to avoid daycare). Any suggestions for keeping a just 2 year old occupied while you spend the needed time getting your little one to sleep? I can keep my older daughter distracted a little while, but often it takes my little one much longer than 20 minutes to fall asleep, especially at this point in the day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Baby Whisperer Boards.

I am sorry I don't have any advice, but would like to stick around as I too have a 2 year old and a new baby on the way, so would love to hear everyones views.

Right, I had this exact same problem, and this is what I did.

I got a play pen, I popped loadsa bit and bobs in for DS to play with (things he LOVES), he was quiet as a mouse and safe too!
