So, I'm currently stuck sitting on my couch, with a napping baby sitting in my lap. I don't like to let her fall asleep on me; I don't want her to get dependant on me being near for her to be able to fall asleep. But she's been so tired this morning, and just cries and cries when I put her down. I thought maybe she was hungry, and she drank the first half of the bottle quite readily... and then passed out cold. So here we are.
Sleep is one of the hardest things with my dear baby. She's been sleeping in her crib in her own room (instead of a bassinet in our room) for just over a week now, and that has been going great. She falls asleep almost immediately after I put her down, and sleeps for 5-6 hour stretches. But naps are harder. There's still light, and activity going on around her, and so she fights and fights to stay awake and stay involved in what's going on. She wants to be included, doesn't want to miss out. Even something as mundane as cleaning the kitchen seems vastly interesting to her.
So, I let her sleep on my lap this morning. She's just woken up now, and seems quite happy, so I think we'll get up and get motivated.
