Baby steps
We’ve been taking small steps toward trying to get Sean to fall asleep on his own, instead of being rocked to sleep every night. He has put himself to sleep for a nap (when he can’t keep his eyes open) but never at night. He takes about 10 minutes of wiggling and rolling before he can get himself drifted off to sleep. We have been using our “aquarium” (even though it’s the jungle one, we still call it the aquarium) that we got from “the cousins” to get him used to hearing the music and associating it with sleep. He’s done really well and now falls asleep in our arms in about 2 minutes after hearing the music start.
Tonight was the first night that I fed him his bottle, burped him, sang him one song, then put him in his crib. 20 minutes later and without any cries or fussing, he’s sound asleep. Yay Sean! Hopefully he’ll continue to do it by himself…it’d save us a lot of time at night!
