Someone recommended I look at the Troublesome Tots blog for some good sleep ideas. The blog is now apparently called "precious little sleep". Anyway, the writer is a huge proponent of the baby swing as a good way to get babies sleeping without mom/dad. The idea is to put them down awake in swing at highest setting, then gradually reduce swing speed to lowest setting and eventually have baby sleeping in a stationary swing. Then the writer says transitioning from falling asleep by themselves in a stationary swing to falling asleep by themselves in the crib in pretty easy.

My baby is 7 weeks and it's time to get my sleep plan in place! Momma's getting tired of rocking (I have a toddler at home with me too).

I know the AAP advises against sleeping in an upright position but my LO sleeps now in the rock and play and the incline on that seems even greater than the swings I've seen.

Anyway, what do you think about all that?
