The Quest to Help a Struggling Baby Nap – Day 7
Today was a blur. There was a fair amount of whining and crying from baby (admittedly, some from me too).
I was grasping for straws seeking out new ways to help calm and ease the sleep cycles. We tried a sleep sack (only good for sleeping on the back though), black paper to block out light (somewhat worked), and white noise (who knows if it worked).
