attached to her swing and carseat
When she was little we use to stick her in her swing for naps instead of her crib, well I'm regretting that now because she will be 10 months old and sleeping horribly in her crib even at night time. She needs to fall asleep in her carseat and then we move her to her crib and then she wakes up 2 hours later and we start all over. I'm tired! I need sleep! Any suggestions on how to get her back to sleeping well in her crib? Or a way to get her to take naps in it? I am up for anything.
@lilliansmom I think you have mentioned the similar problem at nap time.

@char I nurse her to sleep too! Then when I go to put her in her crib she wakes up and refuses to lay back down. We didnt always do it, so I figured it would only last for a month or so but it has stuck.
@lilliansmom I think she has gotten so use to sleeping in her swing at naptime that when we lay her down in her crib she is wide awake. She looks silly in hers too. I keep thinking to myself, what am I going to do when she gets too big for this thing lol. Good luck with stopping the swing cold turkey, we may have to too just because idk what else to do, but yes please let me know how it goes. Also I am wondering if its too quiet at night for her, since during the day we play hee swing music so it drowns out everything during the day.
@gatorbob maybe we will use her soother more and hopefully that works, or some kind of music thing.
@aishamusa thanks your lo is still little so you have a while to go till your in my situation lol.
@kristaf22 honestly I thought about putting it in there, but I know she won't lay still if I take her out and start to lay her flat.
@everyone I'm also wondering if she likes the comfort of being snug, like being strapped in rather than laying flat and roomy. If that makes sense.
@scott_jessica1stbaby oh I hope ours doesn't break..but if it did, guess it would be easier to get rid of lol.
@gatorbob thanks!!
@everyone the music didn't work. She slept awful last night and was up every hour and a half. Idk if it wasn't loud enough or what I'll be playing with that today. Hopefully tonight is better.
I hope tonight goes better for you so you both get more sleep! I know that people say not to but I rock Lily to sleep every night and she sleeps from 8/9p to 530a gets a bottle and if im still home i rock her and put her back in her crib or my husband puts her in her swing for 2 more hours of sleep. Its hard because I work 6a and my husband gets home from work at 3a so he is too tired to try. But just keep at it! what worked best for Lily was routine...I do the same thing every night (bath, quiet naked playtime, dress, read, bottle while rocking and then when she is asleep paci and crib) She also needs her blanket to snuggle with and her fan was the major key that i found that keeps her asleep all night! So I hope you find what works for you soon!
Wow I just realized I went on and on there sorry....
