When Nora was born 10 months ago friends of ours gave us a cradle swing, the best swing ever! She slept for hours in this thing. It was perfect. Now that she's 10 months old, she still does! I can't stop myself, I get her down for a nap, rocking, nursing, whatever and I can't get myself to put her in her crib or on the futon she sleeps on at night. It's like crack. I'm addicted. I'm addicted to the 2 hrs she sleeps in it. I'm so afraid that if she's not in there, she will wake up prematurely and not get back to sleep. She's huge in it, although the weight limit is 35lb. She's a mere 20lb. When she wakes up, she's sitting straight up in her swing (strapped in of course), smiling.
We all have our crutches. Coffee, pacifiers, wine, swings, teethers, breasts.
Right now, I'm sippin my cold press coffee, napping baby, doesn't get any better than this.
