My dd hates naps, too. She does not nurse to sleep either. Some babies just don't. I OBSESSED about her naps: things that helped were the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD (your library will probably have or can order a copy -- watch it a...

We have a full for dh, me, and baby, so recently we put it on the floor and put the crib mattress on the floor right next to me to give us all more room and reduce dd's waking up from our moving around. We love the arrangement.

Thanks, boongirl. Unfortunately our house is so teeny there isn't a great place for dh to go. The couch or an air mattress in another room is it, and neither of those are very ideal. Frankly, I think he would be very cranky about it...

DD has one watery eye with a yellowish eye goober. Her eye lid area is not swoolen or red, and she's not scratching at her eye. I've put in a message to our GP, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I put BM in her eye, and will keep...

Last night we put dd on a crib mattress on the floor next to our mattress which we put on the floor, and she slept for longer stretches! Now if I can just get to sleep early when I need to .... Thanks, everyone.

Just wanted to tell you that we put our mattress on the floor last night with the crib mattress next to it, and dd slept for much longer stretches. I just scooted onto her mattress to nurse and then back up to mine when she was done....
