Sleep Training

Yesterday we started sleep training Izzy to sleep with out her swaddle. So far, we just doing it at nap time and then I hope to slowly work up to night time too. She's very dependent on it and won't sleep if her arms are out. Her startle reflex is still very strong and the tiniest movement makes her arms move and-boom-she's back awake.

I know we're NOT supposed to put them on their bellies to sleep but I finally did because the back was failing. Once I got her into position she slept for over an hour straight and today again so far we're doing good!!! I read a lot of different advice people put online and decided that's what I wanted to do and either way, she can roll over to her belly so if she ended up there I can't help that! Today when I put her in her crib, her face was totally sideways and her arm was only resting on her bunny blanket, and then I found her like this:


We also bought her a little pool today too!!! Thanks grammy!!

ALSO: today she is 5 months old!!!
