My LO is about the same age as yours, and is a horrible daytime napper. I hear your frustration. I can lay him down awake at night and he drifts off without a peep, but during the day he needs movement to sleep, so he either needs to...

Boy, have I been there. You didn't mention how often you put her down for a nap. At that age, I was putting my DS down for a nap every hour to hour and a half. Sometimes he would only sleep for 20 minutes. His average nap duration was...

The links that DevaMajka posted are great. I find myself saying "Good boy" a lot to my 8 month old son! I cringe every time I do, but I'm so used to having dogs, and this is my first child. Reading articles like this and...

Hi Kali If it were me, I would try sidecarring first since you are worried about him not seeing you at night. You might as well start there, and put one side of the crib down, and you can transition later to having the crib away from...

As soon as my DS could roll over onto his tummy, he wouldn't stop! He did it in his sleep, in the swaddle, all the time. There was nothing we could do to stop it. We ended up not swaddling him anymore at night, and now his tummy is his...

Parents magazine also had a recent article where they said something to the effect of "Don't be afraid to let your baby cry himself to sleep." and said something to the effect of how if you DON'T do that, they will never be...

I have the same problem. The only way we can get DS to sleep during the day is while moving. It used to be that he would sleep while swaddled and we could rock or bounce him on the exercise ball, but now, if we're holding him, it is...

I have the EA Sports active More Workouts and love it! I borrowed Wii fit from a friend first. What I like about Wii fit is that you don't have to commit to a workout time frame. If you think you have 30 mins to work out but your LO...

I've been there, and was at my wit's end, having tried everything. I work FT and was hallucinating at work. I was depressed. It was awful. Since I do work and pump at work and DP gives DS a bottle, we began scheduling his daily feedings....
