Yeah so initially I thought going to sleep meant fully asleep but she would already have her eyes closed by the time she lets us stop rocking, so she actually has never fallen asleep without motion at all, except nursed to sleep which works sometimes but often she wakes up within 5–10 minutes of seemingly being asleep when nursed to sleep, she…

Thank you Emma, I will start to incorporate all of your suggestions my only question is is there a good plan for removing motion from the way she sleeps? If she doesn’t have motion she cries a lot and we end up having to bounce at least a little bit to get her to calm.

1. You mentioned you’re swaddling her. In the swaddle are her arms up by her head or down by her side? Down by her side she settles faster, I recently have tried one arm by her face so you can suck on her hand but I think it distracts her from falling asleep she falls asleep slower I think but she does fall asleep deeper whenever she finally does…

Unfortunately things have not gotten better. We have tried the settling pyramid even with modifications no success, she still cries to be picked up and will not sleep until we pick her up. Also, she has been waking more overnight. I’ll try offering a feed at the first wake up, but I was trying to avoid feeds at all since before she would not…

After a few more days of stopping motion we have tried the settling pyramid again, but it’s not going well at all. My baby complains and grunts and squirms while doing the sleep routine so at the end of the routine, after the lullaby, should I place her in the crib even though she’s not calm? If I wait to, she is calm she will fall asleep. If I…

Thank you! Right now, what we’re doing is rocking her until she’s calm, then stopping the motion and, if she remains calm, placing her slowly and gently into the crib. If I move slowly enough, she usually doesn’t protest, but if I move too quickly or less gently or randomly she notices I’m placing her in crib she starts crying again. The…

How long is realistic to start seeing results?

A few follow up questions: for her sleeping without movement I’ve started to rock her till calm then stop rocking and keep her held but she does close her eyes completely in my arms before I place her in crib. For how long do I continue this before starting to place her down with eyes open? I’m…

I’ve been trying the settling pyramid with my 11 week old baby girl. I have tried it for three naps yesterday and one nap today, but I have some questions. First is how much should I do it for how long? It seemed like yesterday it worked out a little bit because she was eventually down in her crib asleep, but today I was doing it for like…
