Hi Stacy-
I'm new to the board and desperately seeking help! I have been reading your posts to others and I have been using your advice as well -Thank goodness!
I have a few questions in my post below - I'm frustrated and feeling defeated.. I dont know if I'm doing this right, if its working, if i'm making it worse..
I have been trying the shh/pat and at night (the last two nights) he has been good with it.. (our night time routine is usually bath -although sometimes we miss it- jammies, quiet time music, rock in the glider, nurse, swaddle and then bed.. (he is swaddled in the miracle blanket since 3 weeks old -but he has been searching for his thumb although he can't quite get it yet) - the problem is at naps he wants NO part of shh/pat -- or is he ovetired by then? (this afternoon daytime nap we started a calm down this afternoon for the first time - quiet time was rocking to quiet time music and layed him down and he was out - but only for 40 minutes.) maybe implementing calming down will help??
I also reposted at my wits end -- i tried the W2S and it was a nightmare..
any help or suggestions would be really really really apprecaited... (also, i am starting work tomorrow as a nanny and will have a 2 year old with me as well - i will have the pack n' play at work and there is one in our room but he is in the bassinet -- should he be sleeping in the pack n' play at home too? (we've tried but he HATED it) ahhhhhhhhhhhhh -- sorry for all the questions... im just at my wits end...
-desperate for nap help!
