Aaahh! My little 3 and 1/2 month old Brooklyn got the DBB two days ago

and sleeping has been a nightmare! Ive tried everything from the tips

and tricks file. we take turns sleeping with her and she wakes every

ten minutes crying until finally around 4 am for our sanity we take it

off. Then she is all smiles and sleeps great. What do we do????? She

is fine in the day. Ive given her tylenol but I dont want that to be

habit:) I dont want to keep taking it off, when does it get easier?

Thanks guys, Sheilah

Sheila-

How does she sleep during the day? Is she in a swing or in a bouncer

or does she sleep fine during the day in her crib?

For our son, it took a couple of days to get used to the shoes-it was

easier for him to sleep in his car seat(infant carrier) has it

slightly elevated his feet and took the weight off. After a couple of

days he got used to it. Double check her feet too to make sure they

are not having any red spots or blisters forming. More than anything,

she is probably just frustrated with the fact that her feet can no

longer move independently-make sure you play with her and show her how

much fun it is to bring them up and down- loved teething on his

shoes and bar!

Hang in there-it does get easier-just be dilligent about the 23 hours!

I don't know... My son hasn't gotten to the DBB yet... but from everything I

have heard I don't think its a good idea to keep taking it off though.

He Sheilah,

Love the name Brooklyn! It is still very new to her. Make sure that

they are on very tight. She will find a comfortable sleeping position

shortly. If she is not rolling on her side yet, I used to put a blanket

under Zoe's legs to prop them up a bit. It just seemed to me that would

be more comfy on the lower back, etc. Try not to take it off in the

middle of the night. She will soon learn that crying gets the bar off.

We had some sleepness nights as well, but it does get better.

Tylenol isn't really habit-forming. :-) If you need to give it to

her for a few days to get over the hump, then I wouldn't worry too

much about it. As long as you're sure everything's corrected

properly and it's just frustration/slight discomfort causing the

crying.
