Now that Penny is 3 months old, I started studying about sleep by reading the well known book, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". Of course what I am learning is making it seem like Penny's sleep habits need to change. We have been staying at home more during the day this week and I realized that most of her naps until now have been while in the car seat or stroller (not the best quality sleep according to the book). When I try putting her down for a nap in her crib, she wakes up within minutes. This leaves me with the option of letting her cry, or soothing her back to sleep and putting her back in her crib, or holding her while she sleeps...and she is no feather-light baby anymore! I think that I should put her back in her crib, but right now I am focused on getting her to have some quality naps and getting her to bed earlier to see if that helps her sleep through the night.
To do this weekend:
-buy and install light blocking drapes or blinds for Penny's room
