Mean mommy. MEAN mommy. She is ONLY three little months old. Three tiny, itsy-bitsy months. Ninety days if you will. Brynlee has decided that they ONLY way she will sleep is if I am nursing her. Yet, she won't take a pacifier. If I even suggest it, she is deeply offended and screams.
Needing to help other children around here, I put Brynlee in her crib at nap time, and just left her in there. Do you know how long she carried on?? Almost 2 hours. Then she succumbed, and fell asleep. She has never cried that much in her 90 days of life. She hardly cries as it is. It broke my heart that I made her cry more than she has ever cried.
She has made peace with her cribby, and will chatter when I put her in it, before she sleeps. Brynlee isn't sleeping through the night, she still gets up every 2 to 3 hours to eat. A handful of times she has gone a 6 hour stretch, but not consistently yet. I could make her work it out at night like I did for naps, but that was hard on every one, and I am not ready to do that again just yet.
She is too little. And I am a softy for her folds of chub and sprawly hair.
