Miss Skye finally slept peacefully in her crib last night — for NINE hours straight (I’m not making that up) — but I’m not going to get cocky yet. If she continues to give me grief, I will definitely try some of these suggestions. The only ones we’d tried were using the crib for naps and making the room pitch-black.

Now if only I could figure out how to make ME sleep, we might be in business.

- I moved the bassinet to the same place the crib is so that he got used to staring at a different piece of ceiling while in the same bed.

- Used the crib during naps first and didn’t try to put him in for the night until he was used to napping there.

- Put him in the crib sideways (i.e. perpendicular to the long sides) at one end so that it felt smaller to him.

- Put the bassinet IN the crib (if you can take it off the base/legs) for a few nights.

- Put him in something else containing (the bouncy chair, his car seat, etc.) inside the crib.

Good luck!
