lily_glz · October 2011

Put an open pair of scissors under her pillow.. okay weird. My daughter has been fighting her sleep for weeks now! No matter how much I rock her she'll only sleep for 20 mins or less and wake up. She's exhausted but won't sleep. I've tried the bedtime wash and lotion, warm baths, gripe water (just in case its a tummy ache), swaddling, bassinet vibrations, lettuce water baths.. nothing has worked! So I give in and try this silly thing and I'm laughing bc idk if its a coinsidence or what but she's OUT! And I put her in her bassinet while she was AWAKE! (I put the scissors under her bassinet pad, blanket over the scissors, then the pad)

I've got to try it tonight. My girl has a hard time sleeping in her crib, bassinet and rock and sleeper....yes I had to purchase all those things to try to get her to sleep well. She also has her swing and bouncer but only likes to sleep on my bed or the couch. I'm going to try this

A friend of mine told me about this after she had her daughter. She said that it's a superstition from where she's from, (Cambodia) that the previous mother of the child in his or her past life, is back to come try to take the baby. Which, makes the child have trouble sleeping//nightmares because the past life mother is believed to have been a bad person. The scissors serve as protection. Idk, kinda odd, but hey, if it works, it works.
