first nap in the crib



today i put hana down for the first nap in the crib. i went to a sleep class while i was pregnant and one of the pieces of advice given was at 4 weeks, to begin trying to put the baby down for one nap a day in the crib while the baby is sleepy but awake. this way she will both get used to sleeping in the crib and get used to falling asleep on her own.

so i tried this but she actually fell asleep before i got her in the crib (she was nursing first and i have been playing the white noise cd - the womb sounds, which lead into the hair dryer... works everytime). but she did wake up 20 minutes later and fuss for about 5 minutes. but then fell back asleep again! i hope that this is the beginning of a trend instead of a fluke for today only.
