Our doctor suggested at Alexis two month appointment that we start putting Alexis to sleep awake, so she learns to fall asleep on her own, and later on down the road we don't run into issues with this. I thought this was fine, until I asked the doctor "well how long do I let her cry, because I know she's going to start to cry?" and the doctors response was ... "until she falls asleep" ... ummmm noooo ... so, I decided that I would start during the day for her daytime naps, and eventually work our way to night time, as she is still sleeping in her bassinet in our room.
I came up with a little routine (if you want to call it that) so she eventually learns and understands when this happens, its time to sleep (fingers crossed haha). Anyways, here is a picture of our first attempt which went great! I only had to go into her room twice to comfort her, and she slept for 3 hours ... I hope it was because she was tired and not because she had, had her needles that day!
