Dominic used to go to sleep so great - at night he breastfed to sleep, but it never seemed to be a problem because he would fall asleep on his own during the day. But now it seems I have to sing or talk to him to get to sleep, or breastfeed him or rock him. He can't seem to just doze off on his own (except while in the car or stroller!).
So I tried today to try to get him to fall asleep on his own in his crib for his nap (usually he just naps in the living room during the day for the most part) and it was unsuccessful. I tried just talking to him and reassuring him and then walk away. I tried vacuuming. I tried singing to him again. After all that failed after half an hour and he was still whining (wasn't crying at least) I picked him up and gave him a boob which took about 4 minutes before he passed out. I tried even stopping while he seemed sleepy to put him in his crib - but really he was already asleep! Guess it's going to be a work in progress...
Being a new Mom is an on-going adventure.. one that I often laugh about... but sometimes cry too!
