Today, after talking to another mommy about her experiences getting her baby girl (now 1 year old) to sleep, I decided to try something new. She said that she would put her daughter down in the crib and rub her belly or back until she fell asleep. Apparently this helped "teach" her daughter to go to sleep on her own in her crib. It did not involve the "cry it out" method, so I thought I would give it a shot.
Joaquin was in desperate need of a nap this afternoon. I expected him to start getting really fussy when I put him down because he had been borderline fussy for the last hour or so. When I put him down he started laughing hysterically. I couldn't calm him down to get him to sleep. Oh well, at least he was happy. Maybe I will give it another shot tomorrow.
