You have to figure out how to wear her through the day, or accept just lying in the rocker and nursing all day and getting very little done. Babies want to be near the mommy's body because that is where they SHOULD be. Remember the continuum concept?<br /><br />In my experience, the baby that is given the full in arms phase, will grow into a happy, independent child. You will be surprised how quickly this happens (especially if you wear her). I think you should order the sleepy wrap asap. If you don't want to do that, maybe you can borrow a good sling (Zolowear or Sakura Bloom are my favorites). There is even a place online that you can buy used slings.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039546348600007503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206076247551590980.post-50940653234324112732009-09-15T21:15:50.168-07:002009-09-15T21:15:50.168-07:00Matthew wouldn't take the bink either.

I second M-A on the book choice-- manna from heaven if you ask me.<br /><br />You WILL find something that will work, I promise... <br /><br />btw, I read like five books on sleeping and eating techniques. If you are interested in the names of a few that were great, let me know.SassyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018022347771467869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206076247551590980.post-12637215459419560052009-09-13T12:14:15.597-07:002009-09-13T12:14:15.597-07:00I totally lay her on her stomach and side for naps...I totally lay her on her stomach and side for naps.

They worked for Victoria and she was pretty fussy, but she took a pacifier, though Karissa never did and she liked those positions too. Rachel also had good advice, except for that baby bjorns kind of get in the way and make you tired after a while, but I've never tried a sling. She will get better and this will just be something you're glad is over.

I know this is totally illegal in the world of responsible parenting, but my kids always woke up if I put them on their backs but did just fine if I put them on their tummies. I only did it during the day and only if I was watching them the whole time, but it gave my arms a break. I also swaddled them and put them on their side, propped up by rolled blankets. Bad mom, I know...[M]https://www.blogger.com/profile/10905959631840814165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206076247551590980.post-91983127291346507192009-09-11T23:05:26.414-07:002009-09-11T23:05:26.414-07:00My kids never took a pacifier either.

She might just not like the sudden shock no body warmth. It has worked with all of our kids, but all babies are different just keep trying new things. You will find something that works for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
