It's a miracle: swaddling

I have wonderful news! As a follow up to my post yesterday (Crib Sleeping) where I talked about how badly it was going, we tried again last night. Ryan went down at 7:30pm and from then until 9pm he was up so much that I wouldn’t even consider it sleep! Finally at 9 I got frustrated with running back and forth and decided to swaddle him. Someone suggested that in the last post and I’ve heard

Well, we finally did it. After too many nights of restless sleep with a tossing, turning and flailing baby, we decided Ryan may be ready for his crib.

He was falling asleep in his pack n’ play in the family room and then around 10pm I’d carry him into our bedroom – he’d sleep right through it. Now? No way. Don’t even look at him funny when he’s asleep or he’ll wake up. And be the one to

The Good Night, Sleep Tight Workbook review (& giveaway)

The Good Night, Sleep Tight Workbook is the companion to the best selling book, Good Night, Sleep Tight, by The Sleep Lady, Kim West. I was sent this workbook for review as part of the book tour – I’ve never read the companion book and while the workbook does reference it once in awhile, you definitely don’t have to have it. The workbook stands alone just fine!
