Could THIS Be The Answer???

Emma is such a good sleeper- she will sleep for 7 hours at a time in her swing or carseat, but she just doesn't like sleeping in her crib. If I put her in the crib, she will stay asleep for 15min or 2-3 hours.... but that is about it. And then she always ends up in our bed.
SO..... I decided to get creative and try to make her crib as comfortable as her swing and carseat. She doesn't like to be swaddled up tightly in a blanket, but she likes to be supported all over, and at a slight incline.
I put her carseat snuggler in her bed (we won't use this until winter in her carseat), and supported that with the baby positioner to keep it snug against her body. Then I elevated her with a wedge pillow that Catherine let me borrow.





We tested it out last night..... I fed her and put her down at 10:15pm.... she slept until 6am!!!!!!! I heard her grunting a few times throughout the night, but that was just because she was trying to go the bathroom (it always wakes her up), so I stuck the binky in her mouth and off to sleep she went! Amazing! Let's see if she continues this lovely pattern.....
