I enjoyed reading a bit & looking at your projects--very beautiful things you have made. I look forward to reading more, especially your birth story. Right now, I can hardly keep my eyes open. God bless your precious family.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932546960495904141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846270.post-1158111723661030592006-09-12T18:42:00.000-07:002006-09-12T18:42:00.000-07:00I want to second Candy's recommendation for swaddl...I want to second Candy's recommendation for swaddling! My little guy is now 3 1/2 months, and for the first few weeks we were ALL miserable because he was SO tired, but couldn't sleep, which in turn made me stressed out. Turned out, he needed to be swaddled - snugly, with both arms in straight by his sides. When we finally figured that out, we were finally able to get some rest! Also, make sure you are laying him down at the first point of tiredness (it took a few days to figure out my baby's cues) - as soon as I figured it out, I would swaddle him, stick a paci in, and he would completely zone out. He became a very good napper in a couple days of persistence (and no crying it out). Now he gives me a look of relief when he's tired and I lay him down (still swaddling him). I hope this doesn't come across as "knowing it all", I just wish someone had told me all this when mine was still teeny tiny! If you've tried all this to no avail, then I really feel for you!! =) -TiffanyTiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762574698721707278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846270.post-1157498367005750512006-09-05T16:19:00.000-07:002006-09-05T16:19:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear you have been having some troubles w...Sorry to hear you have been having some troubles with breastfeeding. Just hang in there, it will get easier!!! I never had any problems with nursing but my sister and some other friends that I know have. <BR/>My last baby would only fall asleep when I held her close to me too, whenever I tried to put her down she woke up. My daughter hated being swaddled but I know this does work for alot of people. I ended up just letting her sleep with us. She has finally out grew this (she is 16 months.) Continue to enjoy your precious baby!!!!Amityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792108996644790997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846270.post-1157475874414754232006-09-05T10:04:00.000-07:002006-09-05T10:04:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.KitKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500725714511307556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846270.post-1157421862466275412006-09-04T19:04:00.000-07:002006-09-04T19:04:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Shannon Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739975759899874231noreply@blogger.com
