Nap Time

Sleepy Baby

Everyone has their own opinion on how to get their baby to sleep. My opinion is not to let them cry themselves to sleep. Making the baby feeling abandoned. Its also sad hearing them constantly cry.

Ever since Alleah was a newborn, she would only take naps either on me or with me (right beside me in my arms). It got hard when she's asleep and I need to get stuff done. 

Finally I found a way to get her to sleep in her bouncer, by bouncing her. But she would only sleep for 30 mins. 

I talked to my mom about how to change her napping habits. She told me the trick. So I've been trying it for the past week and a half :)

I put her in her crib & let her cry for 5 minutes. If she hasn't calmed down, I pick her up and calm her down and comfort her; let her know I'm still there. I put her back in her crib and do it again. By then she tired herself out by crying. I let my baby know that she is not alone; she is loved. 

The past two days have been AMAZING!! I'd put her in her crib and she'd just fall asleep. 

She then sleeps 2 hours for nap time in her crib. I get everything done I need too and she gets a good nap in. Makes a happy baby and a happy momma. 

She's always been such a good baby. I didn't need to do any kind of sleep training at night because ever since birth she slept 6-10 hours. But I would have to rock her to sleep every night. I love rocking her to sleep... don't get my wrong. But, it would also be nice for her to be a little independent. She is to the point where she can put herself to sleep, but also I can rock her to sleep. Which is nice for when we aren't at home and I can't put her in her crib. She's an awesome baby, I'm so blessed to have her. She is so intelligent.

Now she takes great naps. :)

Week 2:
I've made it possible to where Alleah doesn't even cry at all when she is put in her crib. As soon as I place her fuzzy blanket on her and I turn on her lullaby lamb she closes her eyes. :)

I feel extremely happy about the progress :)

Hope all you moms out there try it :) it works great!!
