wlie 0 #1 March 16, 2004 To feed my 8 week old. He's finished 4 oz., burped, and rocked back to sleep. But wakes up each time I put him back in his crib. I think I'll end up holding him till the sun rises. But it sure beats the "on-call pager".My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cradle him your arms and gently rock him till he smiles, then put him in the crib and tickle/stroke his cheeks and chin. Get used (him and you) to putting him down before he falls asleep Sit with him and read from a book, any old book will do (Pat Works's VRW book even worked for the Mininac), its the sound of your voice that works. Having wee hanging mobile thingies that fit onto the side of the crib seemed to help too. I got some glow in the dark stars and moons which I stuck on the ceiling above the wee fella's crib, dunno if they did anything but they look cool as hell in the dark. I hung a Hoberman sphere in the room toohttp://hoberman.com/fold/index.html which was more of an excuse for me to get one rather than a toy for a kid. I'm no Dr Spock, but this all worked for me... Oh one last thing, it gets better. "I think I'll end up holding him till the sun rises." I can't think of a better way to greet the day.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
