During the night that is. Don't get me wrong, I am beyond grateful about this. Never having had to walk the floor for hours or get up twenty times a night makes me feel incredibly blessed, but...
Naps on the other hand are different story.
For as heavy and consistent a sleeper as my bub is at night she is the lightest sleeper ever during the day. She also refuses to sleep anywhere but in her carrier or laying on top of me, still.
So many times I have begun to put her down gently and slowly and just as her head hits the bed, she begins to cry and squint her eyes open with look far beyond her years as if to say... "how ruuuude mom, I was sleeping"
Thank god for my mom though. When I told her what was going on she said "god she's so much like you. Have you tried putting her down quicker and walking away so she can't see you by the time she opens her eyes?"
So I tried it. And you know what it freaking worked! A little tiny whimper and right back to sleep.
