As I've mentioned before Dani will only sleep in my lap during the day. Honestly, it is so sweet and I really wouldn't care, but it isn't fair to Lily or Dani. I can't really play or do anything for Lily and if Lily does need something or if I need something, I wake the baby by getting up. I don't want to give up all my cozy baby time, but I need an hour or two a day to get some stuff done and pay attention solely to Lily. So when Jenn offered her "nap nanny" for us to borrow, I gladly accepted. I'll try anything! So far, and I hate to jinx myself, it is a miracle! The first day I got Dani to sleep in it for 90 minutes. Yesterday she took a 2 and a half hour nap in it which allowed Lily and me time to play and I got some light housework done! She is currently sleeping there now (which is how I can blog!) and going on 2 hours. I do miss holding her, but it is nice and I feel like she is getting a better sleep.
Pre nap nanny - she would sleep in the bouncer un-swaddled for only a few minutes before walking up. I was hesitant in using the swaddle during the day since I wanted it to help distinguish between day and night and help with healthy sleeping patterns.
Behold the nap nanny!
She is still too tiny to sleep in it at night, but that is ok for now. As long as she is warm and cozy and I can keep my eye on her, we are all happy!
Eating left over Easter candy (yes we still have a large bowl of chocolate eggs and bunnies we need to clear out before Halloween) and making "sticker by number" mosaic jewelry boxes with Lily while watching Gilmore Girls -- perfect mommy and me bonding time while Dani sleeps peacefully on the floor next to us.
