I'm having a hell of a time getting C to nap now that we don't swaddle. She fell asleep in the car and slept for like 20 minutes and then when we got home, I fed her and put her down in her crib. She's now been upstairs for a solid 45 minutes fussing and won't go to sleep even though she has to be exhausted. If I leave her upstairs, she'll continue to fuss but might fall asleep. If I bring her downstairs, she will sit down here and be a nightmare and cry. This has been almost a week of this now. Her night sleep has also been crap, waking up 4-5 times a night and not even really wanting or needing to eat. It's not even been a whole week since we started swaddle weaning and I really am at a point where I want to cave. I KNOW it will be better in the long run to stick it out but when I'm sleep deprived and dealing with a fussy, overtired baby... I really just want to swaddle her butt. Give me some support, ladies. I'm having a weak moment.
AND... she fell asleep while I was typing this. *sigh* It only took 50 minutes.
I've been there, ugh. In those situations I'd just cry and call Wagon Sr. and beg him to come home early. Haha. And then usually I'd stick him in the stroller or car. Hugs..... I know it's the worst
