I Just Need A Minute...

I'm no expert, but I've raised a few kids in my lifetime. As a parent my #2 biggest complaint about parenting is SLEEP DEPRIVATION. From just cranky to colic, I've had a lot of advice on what to do to get some sleep. While there can be underlying health issues that are very important, and should NOT be ignored, if you're thinking that your baby just doesn't want to "miss anything", and that she's otherwise perfectly healthy, these are some products that have been tried and truly worked for me.

First, the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Travel Swing. I had purchased a full size version, and my son was scared of it. I put him on the table in this one, and he would get the MOST sleep there as an infant. If it wasn't for this swing, no one would have had clean clothes.

As he got too big for the swing, we tried the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Bouncer. 

If you thought the screaming of an overtired baby was bad, there's nothing like an overtired, and now TERRIFIED baby. So, I bought the Fisher Price Rainforest Bouncer. 

I heard the angels sing! He LOVED this bouncer! With the help of it's soothing vibration, he kicked, giggled, and cooed himself right to SLEEP! 

I have also mentioned the Baby Einstein Turtle Crib Soother in a previous post. 

This soother was also a favorite with my children. The music and motion of the fish was mesmerizing, and even at 3 years of age, my son was entranced by this soother, and promptly told me to "shut it off!"

*Be sure you are not purchasing a recalled item. The first version was recalled, and the toy was redesigned to meet safety standards. 

If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, and I currently do not have them in stock at www.kidcrazee.com, please email me through the "Email Me" button on my website, and I'll see if I can locate one for you. (Buyer responsible for shipping costs.)

Happy Nappin'!
