Some nights Abby has a really hard time getting off to sleep. I am trying to figure out what to do b/c it's awful when she gets overtired, for her & for me!
I generally lay her down around 8pm after giving her a bottle. She is usually good at putting herself to sleep but lately, she seems to be having a hard time if she goes beyond tired to overtired. (A place you don't want to be.....trust me) I even got a white noise machine to try & help her drift off on those days she is having a hard time settling down.... it helped one night but not the next....so trial & error. She does enjoy the sound & the projector though. When she sees the projector she is very very interested in it!
As an aside, she is very interested in lights...we have a chandelier in the dining room & in her bedroom and she loves to stare at both!
So I think I am going to try & implement a bedtime routine and see how that helps. I hope it does b/c it is so stressful when she is overtired & can't settle down. I have asked Howie to bring up the recliner from the basement and I'll use that to rock with her for a little bit in the dark before laying her down.
