Well, I'm already off on my every day blogging plan, but that's all right. Flexibility is key!
Two nights ago, I discovered a trick to getting Regan to sleep a little longer and better: swaddling. I know, it's not exactly a secret. But she really hates to be swaddled for the first few minutes. She wails and wails and tries to kick her feet and work her arms loose. So I'd stopped doing it, thinking she wouldn't sleep if she was upset. But I tried it again the other night, letting her cry about it for a few minutes while I rocked her, and after her little tantrum, she feel into a great sleep. It seems to be working to get her to go back to sleep a little easier and sleep longer. Now if only I could stay awake through her feedings to put her back in her crib instead of falling asleep in the glider with her, we might both get a little rest!
