She is not to the point yet where she can put herself back to sleep either.
One day when she was in her swing I was trying the crying it out method that so many people tell me to do. After about five minutes of listening to her cry, I could not stand it anymore but I knew that is the only way she would learn to put herself to sleep so I started thinking of every way that I could tune her out because I was so close to just picking her up, I hate to hear my baby girl cry. I knew that I had to get some vacuuming done so I thought what a great way to get some house work done and tune her out at the same time. I went and got the vacuum and started vacuuming in the same room she was in. Not a minute and a half went by and I looked at her and she was passed out. I thought it could have been just a coincidence. The next day when we were going through the same thing I went to get the vacuum to see if that was really it, and sure enough Rocky timed it and it was 2 minutes!!!! Simply amazing!!!! I have now started to put her in her crib to sleep for naps and today I tried the vacuum trick in there. I have posted a picture of the vacuum and Laney sound asleep. Yes, the vacuum is running not 5 feet from her! I wish I could sleep like that!

ok, now that's hilarious. just think of the money you could make if you could invent a machine that would simulate the sound of the vacuum. then you could save on the wear and tear of it. give laney lots of hugs and kisses from her mama k and tell her she's a good girl!
so glad you found something that works for miss laney! way to go, momma!
how is the lansanoh working out? hope everything is feeling better, i know how much that can hurt!
i hate giving unasked/unwanted advice only because sometimes i hate getting it. i'm sensitive about that, ya know? anyway, just be careful about putting laney down for a nap with her paci clip on, as it could get wrapped around her neck in bed. clara always has her on except naptime. have a good day!
