This could be a very long night

[neverlosthope]

First off, Reagan is a TERRIBLE sleeper. She nurses to sleep, and has never been put to sleep by anyone but me. She is still swaddled, and she sleeps propped up in a boppy pillow (yes, I know how many rules we are breaking here). She sleeps in our room still (she will eventually share a room with L) and some nights she only sleeps with me sitting up in the bed nursing her all night long. I have been planning to work on her sleep for a long time, but then something comes up, and I don't. Well last night she woke up and her cry was different. She sounded scared, so I jumped up to get her, and she was face down. She is plenty strong enough to lift her head, she just couldn't roll back over because the pillow was around her (she wasn't ON it anymore) but she could breathe, she was just PISSED. So that's it for me. The pillow has to go, and if he pillow goes (because up until now it somewhat held her in place) so does the swaddle. The problem with that is, any time she falls asleep not swaddled she wakes up the SECOND I stand up to try to take her to the crib. So we will see how tonight goes. We might not get ANY sleep (oh and dh is working, so he won't even be here to help with getting the older kids to bed). Wish me luck (we are gonna need it!)

Good luck!!! It might be best to see if she'll fall asleep on her own? Since she'll just wake up the second you put her in her crib anyway. Maybe nurse her to super drowsy, and put her in? I'm sure she'll cry, and idk how you feel about CIO. Sometimes kids surprise you and do better than you expect! I'm hoping that works with you guys!! Fingers crossed!
