It's been awhile since I last wrote. We went on vacation for a couple weeks, and then, well, I just never really got back into the swing of things. I thought today might be an interesting post for you all...
My son is an excellent sleeper. I did sleep training early so I like to think that I was the one that made him the way he is, but I'm sure it's because we just got lucky, really. On the contrary, today's afternoon nap was a rough one for him, so I knew something wasn't right. I did the whole, "let him cry for a bit"-thing, but after about 30 minutes (I check on him every 10 minutes or so), I started to get concerned.
Poopy diaper? No.
Gas? I tried what my husband and I call "The Poo Canoe." Nothing.
Teething, perhaps? I used the teething gel. Still crying.
After an hour (and me starting to get really tired and sweaty), I literally got inside of the crib with him. Yup. That's right. I lied with him in the crib, fed, and rubbed his back at the same time. He was asleep in about 5 minutes. Awkward? Maybe...but it works! I've done it before and I'll do it again.
