A very powerful hairdryer next to her.
And guess what - Max likes that too.
He went from a little screaming monster to the happiest baby on the block in 6 seconds.
I have to admit I never thought i would get such a good use of my "Yellow bird" when I bought it 3 years ago.
The problem is that if something happens to that precious item my hair will go back to being frizzy and curly. I am not sure I can handle that....
Max didn't need to be fed until 1:30 am- that's a pretty good 5 hour stretch.
And I think he was screaming and spitting up all weekend b/c every time he cried we fed him more, wondering where he's putting all that food. Someone stuffs you with all that food you'll be uncomfortable too.
I remember my doula used to come and wrap Madison in her little blanket shove a pacifier down her throat, "sshhhhhh" really loudly in her ear and little miss Madison was out like a light. She'd put her in her swing and march me to bed as well. She probably saved me from insanity.
I guess someone might be worried that their baby will get used to all these crutches to go to sleep- but Madison never took a pacifier after she turned 3 months.
I guess the lesson here is - whatever works.
Sometimes we need to think outside the box. this morning as soon as Max started to stir- I turned on the little noise machine that makes spring rain sound and he is still sleeping. He just started crying again and I shoved the paci down his mouth.
I guess there is a secret to have two kids under 3 sleeping at 8:09 on Monday morning.
