Sleep?

The adventure of discovering Avery's sleeping patterns has begun. She is an amazing night sleeper. Last night we moved her bed time up to 7pm because she seemed ready and the girl slept 10 hours. She didn't wake up until 5am. She had a quick feed and then went back to bed until 8 am. So our baby slept 13 hours last night. This morning when we went in her room she was just laying awake in her crib.

 So we are doing good with the night sleeping. But we have a ways to go with napping. Avery is not very interested in taking naps during the day. She likes to be a part of the party and doesn't want to miss out on what is happening around her. We have tried strollers and car rides to help her sleep. We would like her to get use to napping in her crib. I think we might have high expectations for a baby who is 5 weeks old. But if you have tips on getting a baby into a good nap routine please share.

 Ivan found a new way to calm Avery down, it is the Onesie method - we captured it on video!!

    "Onesie" grab! That'll probably work when she's 16 too.

    Ollie did that too! Napped in the crib fine all night from day one, but not so much with naps. I have no advice here, we didn't do anything that really worked, just kept trying and around 12 weeks or so he started taking naps better in his crib until he stopped fighting it. Eve still fights naps sometimes, if you find something that works for Avery, maybe I'll try it on her!!
