Not the Crib, not the Cradle....


....but the baby bouncer. Yes, that is right, Gabby does not like the crib or cradle. She prefers her baby bouncer to sleep in. For a while, she was doing okay in her cradle...but she was still waking up every 2 hours, and the past week or so, she would wake up every time I set her down in the cradle. Most nights I just gave up and would put her in bed with us. We realized that she slept great in her bouncer, and any time she was propped up. We think it is hard for her to breathe laying flat, because he makes these weird noises. So after many sleepless nights, we decided to try letting her sleep in her bouncer. It worked perfect!!!!!!!!!!

She woke up at 5 am to eat, then went right back to bed, and slept until 10 am!!!!! I got so much needed sleep!

Rome loved the bouncer, too... It's perfect! She looks so much like Charley did as a newborn in that pic!

How funny. I guess you do what works! haha:) I think Tristan prefers our bed...either that or his cradleboard! But he's definitely growing out of it! (sad!) Gabby's so cute and TINY!! aaaww:O)

what a good baby to sleep in for you. does she have acid reflux or anything that makes her want to sit up a lot? jude slept in his chair (similar) for quite sometime too. then the pediatrician tried to make me feel like a bad mom. whatever! shes not the one who needs to sleep at night!
