So proud!!

My little men slept in their crib for the first time last night!!! I am so relieved and happy that we got over that hurdle. It was really stressing us out. We did trick them a little bit.... We wrapped up blankets around them to make them think they were sill in their snuggly swing. Then, when they go to sleep we take the blankets away.

Here is what they look like when we first put them down (Ben): Sorry, it's blurry.


Then we take the blankets away so they are nice and safe (Sam):

They only went about 4 hours in-between feedings but they didn't cry so I consider it a great success!

I would highly recommend this technique to anyone who has a baby who won't move from their car seat or swing to sleep in their crib.

  2. You put them to sleep in their cribs from the time you come home from the hospital then you will not have any problems. Babies can be spoiled.
