January 15th, 2013 Crib Notes

Mommy and Daddy feel pretty good about themselves when you fall asleep between 8:30 and 9 with little fuss, and sleep peacefully through till 6. This last week, we have learned the wisdom of not associating our self-worth with your sleep behaviors. We put you to bed on your back in the middle of your crib. Several times at night you wake us up crying because you have flipped onto your stomach and scooted backwards into one of the sides of your crib; you can’t move the way you want to (i.e. crawling forward) and you are awake and unhappy about it. Or maybe it’s gas…or teething…or nasal congestion…whatever the reason, crib time is changing.
