Let's Talk Baby Crack...

Well I have to say I am quite impressed with this Baby Crack machine. We use the ocean sound and she relaxes right to sleep. What used to take up to 3 hours (while crying and resisting) is only taking an hour, if that(no resisting). This has become part of our bedtime routine which I think she is finally learning.

So for anyone who is having trouble putting their little ones to sleep or even with them sleeping for long periods of time. I highly suggest the crack machine and a bedtime routine. It took awhile for her to learn but I really think she's beginning to. We have already gotten the middle of the nights feedings down (eat then back to sleep; no playing, dimmed lights).

So here's our bedtime routine:

Basically, bath, jammies, bottle, bed. If it's not a bath night I will put on lotion that smells just like her bath soap when changing her into her jammies. Bottle is given in the glider right next to her bed with dim lights. No talking or playing. Baby crack machine on to ocean sounds. I set the timer for 45-60 minutes (she can take 30 minutes to eat sometimes) once the machine goes off, I wait 10 minutes then put her down. Swaddle (with her hands out) then comfy blanket on top.

So far so good. I get at least 6 hours out of her when doing this. Last night, I got 7 hours and then she was down for 4 more.

So this baby crack machine, best $20 I have spent so far....
