We finally decided to let LMW sleep in the rock n play for every nap and her first stretch of night sleep, and we'll put her in the crib after her night feedings. (Previously she was napping in the swinging swing and we were trying to put her to bed in her crib, and spending hours every night getting her down.) Tonight it still took a bit to get her down but she's been sleeping longer than she has in a couple of weeks. That rock n play is so magical. I'm worried about transitioning back into the crib, but I figure swaddle weaning and sleep training is all going to suck anyway, so might as well deal with it all later and just let all of us get some decent sleep now while she's still young. At least for the next few weeks (she's 10 weeks old).

Anyone else rely on the rock n play?? I'm so in love with it that I'm thinking of writing an entire blog post just about it. Last night I spent 2 hours sweating and my arms were shaking with weakness from rocking her to sleep over and over... tonight I laid in bed and just pushed the rock n play gently until she was asleep! I almost fell asleep myself!
