She would fall asleep in her bassinet because the movie attached to it vibrates. She also falls asleep in the vibrating bouncer. Have you tried something that vibrates for her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266444 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:52:46 +0000 Goldilocks1107 266444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having this same issue with naps. At night, LO sleeps great in the crib. During the day, she'll only nap for 10-30 minutes MAX in the crib, then wakes up screaming because she's still tired and won't go back to bed. After that, it's on your chest or nothing. I even tried to lay her on her stomach on the floor yesterday in the hopes it was a "something pressing against my tummy and face" thing. No go - in 30 seconds, she was screaming and back on my chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266439 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:49:17 +0000 Honeybee 266439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During those nights the only thing that would keep DS asleep was the bouncy chair with the vibrations turned on. I love that chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266435 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:46:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 266435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I am soooo close to just going out today and getting a rock n play. If it doesn't work we could always return it. I'm just afraid we'll get it, set it all up, and it won't help at all!</p> <p>@Clementine: Did you let him sleep in the boppy all night? I was thinking about doing this since she's in our room with us... but of course, the big tag on the boppy warning you not to let them sleep on it scares me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266271 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 08:27:38 +0000 Clementine 266271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tight swaddle and maybe using the Boppy to mimic a human body. Of course, you should make sure she's in the room with you to be safe, but we'd put him down and kinda have the Boppy around him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266241 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:56:59 +0000 bpcmarj 266241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Penny was like this, too; Until we got the rock and play! A friend gave us theirs at 2 months and the first night we had it was the first time she slept anywhere but on me. She slept from 10 pm until 5am that night!! I use a swaddle me, sometimes with an A&amp;A swaddle underneath, and she slept so reliably in the rock and play. I know you were looking to know about it for naps, but at night it worked miracles for us!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266220 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 07:20:45 +0000 Andrea 266220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy, can't believe I am gonna do this again, too. I hope you got some sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266192 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 06:11:10 +0000 looch 266192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son slept like a dream his whole life, no issues, ever!</p> <p>Of course I am being totally sarcastic, I can count the nights he's slept through on both hands and he's 20 months! You'll get through it girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266143 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:43:07 +0000 chopsuey 266143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Hope this passes soon! The newborn stage is all a blur to me now.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266142 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:35:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 266142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh totally remember that too. Honestly I remember it with much fondness... Tho I might not if I had a two year old lol<br /> Dh and I took turns holding ds for the whole first month, then he slept with us until he was 3.5 mos and thats when he finally slept on his own in his crib.</p> <p>Not much advice but I feel you :) good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266141 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:22:47 +0000 pinkcupcake 266141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I totally remember those long nights (and days) :( :( I'm so sorry. There was a point when LO wouldn't sleep unless we sat there rocking her bassinet. I'd just lug the swing upstairs if I were you (or get DH to do it, hehehe). Good luck!! Hope she goes down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-stay-down#post-266135 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 22:50:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 266135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh... The past 2 nights Lil miss wagon has slept in 3 hour chunks. That was such a tease because now she won't sleep! Since 630pm she will fall asleep in our arms but once we put her in the bassinet, 20 mins later she wakes up crying. We've tried everything.. Not sure if we can get thru this night, we'll probably take turns holding her for an hour at a time! I'm this close to bringing the swing into our room and letting her sleep in it as it swings... But I don't even think that would work! </p>
