Nap Training


This book...although I haven't actually read it yet, is AMAZING!! Any of you who are friends of mine on facebook know that Adelyn has not ever been a napper. She would catnap here and there, if I was holding her, but never very long! A friend of mine mentioned this book and I ordered it. But just from reading the previews on line, I got the basic principle. When she wakes up, keep her up for 90 minutes, and then put her back down again. Basically, babies work on 90 minute intervals. If you don't get her down pretty close to 90 minutes, you will have to wait another 90 minutes before she will go to sleep. I started yesterday. It has been AMAZING!! Yesterday and today, I was able to swaddle her, sing to her for a few minutes, lay her down and she was OUT! 3 long naps yesterday. 2 so far today! She has been so much happier. No evening fussiness. Once I actually read the book...it might be even better. But for now, I feel like I have my sanity back! :)
