One napping success down!
« on: October 01, 2016, 15:35:26 pm »
I don't know what the future may hold but I have to celebrate even a minor victory!

This morning I put my little 3 month old girl down and she just WENT TO SLEEP! I swaddled her, she had been fussing before, but she smiled when I swaddled her, then I set her down. She stared off at the wall and I started to pat gently just out of habit more than anything.  I decided to go grab my phone before I started (it helped preserve my sanity when these shush-patting sessions went for so long )

When I got back she was asleep!!!!!!

!!!!!

I am so excited! It HAS been getting noticeably easier this week but this is the first time she just went down basically on her own! We've been at it for about a couple of months.

Thanks for all the support and advice I've gotten over the last few weeks. I hope this is an upward trend!

That's great! Small victories  :D

Some babies actually settle better when we've down wind down but are not in the room..maybe worth trying again?

Fingers crossed for more self settling today

Well she is back to being fussy now not sure how we managed an easy nap before. She is not too bad tho but hope to see more successes in the future. We've been at it for what feels like forever!
