So I'm sitting here feeling drowsy yet again. I thought that a baby's sleep is supposed to get more consistent over time, but I've been proven wrong.
When Layla was little, she would sleep on her tummy. It worked best if I would lay her down, and immediately walk away. She slept more easily if she couldn't see anyone near her.
More recently, she liked to sleep on her back, but I would have to stay with her until she was completely asleep. It took awhile some days and was very frustrating.
Now she has changed again. She used to almost never fall asleep nursing. Now she has to fall asleep nursing and lay on her back. She also wakes up way too easily.
What's a mother to do?
