Exactly the Wrong Kind of Sleep Training
Posted by Liza under The Real Live Boy
With all the crazy traveling we’ve been doing, plus Noah’s ear infection, we’ve trained him in exactly the worst sleep habits possible.
Over the last week, he mostly will only fall asleep and stay asleep if he is:
- Sprawled over my lap or arm (mostly nursing),
- In his carseat being driven, or
- In his stroller being walked
Every night for the last 3, I have fallen asleep sitting in the rocker in his room, and stayed there, asleep, for at least 2 hours, with him in my lap.
Ooops.
I think we will be starting good-falling-asleep-habits training as soon as this ear infection is better. (I just can’t bring myself to do it while he’s sick.)

A tip from Claire:
1) Put baby in car seat.
2) Put car seat on top of clothes dryer.
3) Run dryer.
Result: One sleeping baby.
