I've used a website on my laptop before, but then I can't use my laptop during nap time! I also had a different kind of sound machine and the white noise didn't get loud enough.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153481784225323034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217085991506427800.post-71883451562260408192012-08-23T12:41:59.118-07:002012-08-23T12:41:59.118-07:00I read Monday's post, but never got a chance t...I read Monday's post, but never got a chance to comment since I read it on my phone during a feeding and forgot to come back! I definitely know the CIO works for a lot parents, and I don't think anyone is wrong for it. So far I've tried to do some of the suggestions in the No Cry Sleep Solution which is basically the 5, 10, etc minute checks, the problem is she just gets more hysterical when I come in the room. I usually let her cry if its just a fuss cry, but the elevated screaming/sad cries I can't take at least not for prolonged periods. (Im sure I might change this thought in a few more weeks, well see!) <br /><br />We have a good bedtime routine though, so once she learns how to fall asleep solo we should be good. It's just the naps are awful! No routine and when I see her tired signs and try to settle her down, she just works herself up more getting even more tired!E Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352806730398606386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217085991506427800.post-2571011126978323562012-08-23T11:35:51.806-07:002012-08-23T11:35:51.806-07:00I swear they come out with new and improved baby g...I swear they come out with new and improved baby gear yearly! I bet they didn't have some of the things that I have now when your boys were young! I would LOVE to see the paintings at Sandals ! I bet they are amazing!!! I also heard the book called growing kids gods way is good. I'll be picking that up soon!

I know you're not a fan of letting A cry, but it's what I have found to work. It's not easy though! Hearing B crying breaks my heart! But I know it's for her ultimate good of learning to sleep. The more consistent I am the better she does!

No other blankets needed. When the weather cools down I assume we will put more substantial pajamas on underneath.

I'm so glad you have everything you need... I can't think of one thing to suggest to you that you don't already have. : ) I'm so excited you have the Jesus Storybook Bible. It IS SO beautifully illustrated and written. I'm actually painting 10 big paintings right now for the PreSchool Lobby at Sandals (taken from that Bible). Our cirriculum is straight from that Bible, too. I always suggest it to young parents. But you were already on to it! : ) Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778220324454294526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217085991506427800.post-64502887348236855702012-08-23T05:53:21.370-07:002012-08-23T05:53:21.370-07:00We just de-swaddled A too.

I also totally hear you on the "baby" looking items. I know babies love bright colors, but I try to keep it to just learning/developmental toys and not everything in the house. <br /><br />I'll throw in a post request too, just because I'm curious, what have you been doing for nap routines? I know you had trouble with B only sleeping on you (same here with A). Do you darken the nursery? Use a sleepbag? Do the same routine as bedtime with a book, rocking, songs, etc?E Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352806730398606386noreply@blogger.com
