READ IT!!! WATCH THE DVD!!! OMG!!!!
Our Parents as Teachers lady let us borrow the DVD when she was here in early Feb. It's been sitting on our steps since then. I remembered that she was going to be here on Wednesday so I thought it would be wise to watch it. I'm glad that I did. And so is Clint. The 5 "S": Swaddle, Side/Stomach, SHHHH, Swing, Suck.
We've been swaddling Dade (but not when he's fussy that's the key), we do put him on his side and he calms down somewhat quickly, and we give him a pacifier. The whole SHHHH, and swing thing was new to us. How convenient that Dade was fussy during the DVD, because we did the 5 "S"s while we watched, and he calmed down almost instantly. CRAZY!!!!!
We got a swing this weekend. The guy in the DVD talked about the "proper" way to use a swing. Dade has been sleeping in his swing now for over 2 hours. The Dr. in the video stated that if you do the 5 "S"s, you're baby can go from sleeping 2 hours at a time to sleeping 5+ hours. It just takes practice from the parents to know the "spot" for their baby. True we get lucky at times and Dade will sleep a max of 4 hours at a time, but getting him to sleep a whole night through early on would be blissful.
I made No Bake Cookies a little bit ago, they are yummy. Time to relax on the couch while Dade sleeps in the swing.

That book/DVD is amazingf! I swear by the 5 s's. Now I am trying to break my 6th month old of the swaddle. It does not look like it will be happening anytime soon!
