Sleeping In The Bouncy Chair


My mother watches my little baby girl while I go to work everyday. Sometimes I feel bad for my mother because my daughter fights sleep in the worst way possible. She even refuses bottles because they make her drowsy. We have a terrible time with feeding and sleeping. I guess she couldn't take it any longer and she fell asleep in her bouncy chair! Please feel free and comment if you have any similar struggles. I am an elementary teacher, and I believe in schedules and routines (but I am having a difficult time with my own child!)

Our youngest son was the same way...When he was born and while we were in the hospital the first three days, he slept and slept. We all had a hard time waking him. The nurses were concerned. It didn't bother me. So, the rest of his young life, he NEVER napped. He must have thought he did plenty in his first 3 days in the hospital! He is our Energizer Bunny that NEVER runs out. Car rides ususally do the trick for our two girls, but not our son.

I know this is challenging for your mom who cares for him all day long. Some suggestions that work for our daughters--massage, bath, car ride.
