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.
