Nice work figuring that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-367927 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:48:06 +0000 twinmama 367927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually use a folded prefold diaper as a kind of pillow in their crib, so we're cycling those between laundry-our bed-their cribs every few days now too....and hopefully we can eliminate the sweatshirts on the floor soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-367466 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 10:49:57 +0000 Andrea 367466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your kids go to daycare, they always suggest doing this so that they can be easily comforted there, too. Very cool how this works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-367462 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 10:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Blue 367462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: So interesting! I would never have thought of this, but it makes sense. Glad you're getting more rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-366935 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:03:56 +0000 blackbird 366935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww they love the way you smell. I put my pillowcase in the cats' carriers when they go to the vet so I bet it's the same idea :) Excellent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-366104 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:27:48 +0000 immabeetoo 366104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ive never heard of this! hope i remember it in a few weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-366019 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:58:38 +0000 Alivoo01 366019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for a simple fix and you getting a (somewhat) restful night's sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-365988 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:45:01 +0000 SugarplumsMom 365988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never heard of this before! Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-365966 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:37:36 +0000 boiledpnut 365966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did read that you should sleep with your baby's blankets before you give them to them. It helps comfort them. Glad to know it's working for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-365939 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:21:56 +0000 Arden 365939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-laundry-helps-my-kids-sleep#post-365935 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:19:32 +0000 twinmama 365935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Hubs and I put a few of our worn shirts under our LO's cribs and their number of night wakings dropped dramatically. I'm getting 8 hours of sleep! </p> <p>Twins are 3 months now and still had a few 'comfort' wakeups most nights in addition to feedings, so we were still getting up every hour or two all night, and totally exhausted. </p> <p>Our dirty laundry has completely eliminated the comfort wakeups for the last week - they only wake once or twice to eat! I guess being able to smell DH and I helps them settle themselves back to sleep quickly when they wake at night. </p> <p>Just thought I'd share in case this could help someone else. Or maybe this is already common knowledge that I just finally figured out :) </p>
