Voodoo and the art of getting your child to sleep
After having a frustrating week in which Abigail woke up every 1 or 2 hours, I have to say that it got quite funny. We tried to see what will get her to sleep… and you seem to check all those weird and silly things. If we put her to sleep on her right side, maybe she sleeps more. Or on the left. Or on her back? or her stomach? Maybe she is cold. Maybe she’s too hot. Maybe too many blankets. Maybe too little. Maybe we’ll keep the lights on, or off. Maybe if we stay quiet? maybe if we don’t? close the windows? open them up?
We just love to find patterns in anything, don’t we?
Anyway she seems to be back to normal, and the last couple of days she slept great. And I’m still trying to find out why!
