I often...As you said, the only constant is change. I often felt like I figured out a great soothing strategy, and in another couple weeks it didn't work anymore. On the plus side, it means his aversion to things like diaper changes or sleeping on his back might change soon. I don't know if this is the case, but D hated diaper changes I think partially b/c he got cold when we took the diaper off, and if I ran a small plug-in heater towards him while changing that seemed to help. <BR/><BR/>Do you have a white-noise machine? That would save you from having to vacuum always. ; ) I used to frequent one board that talked about a specific one sold at Target I think that had different sounds it played and had a little light show, and they called it the Baby Crack machine b/c apparently it made all their babies fall asleep magically. There's also many babies that would sleep with the white noise on all night for the first couple months ,and it helped them sleep much longer. I found "shhhh"-ing in D's ear often helped when he was really upset.<BR/><BR/>I hope GB continues being so regular. It certainly would be nice for you guys. D's still so unpredictable (just last week he was going 3 hrs between feedings, then today and yesterday has been demanding to eat every 2 hours again). I could "force" a schedule on him and maybe I should at this point, but I have a feeling that would involve lots of crying on both our parts.<BR/><BR/>Now that I've written a novel in your comments section, I think I'll say goodnight....Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792375260633790983noreply@blogger.com
