And sleeps horribly. She has reflux and is somewhat fussy, which doesn't at all help the situation. Now that she is old enough we are trying to help her establish a routine. We've read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" and am following her cues, soothing her gently and laying her down when tired (We try often, at least twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, and then at bedtime). While she'll sleep with us holding her briefly, she awakens within minutes of being placed in the crib. She gets more tired throughout the day and crankier as any infant would be. We swaddle her, move her, even drive her in her carseat as a last ditch effort. At night she only lasts two hours max, before she's normally awake again. (She fidgets all night long). Our baby eats well....3 to 4 ounces every three hours or so. What else should we be doing? We try to put her down while drowsy, but sometimes use a pacifier to help....she cries when it falls out, so we don't like to use it.
