My parents used to put me to sleep by going for a drive. The vibrations + noise of the engine were apparently very soothing to me.
That worked on my firstborn, too. Put 'er in the baby bucket, drive around the block, and she was out.
Then you had the fun task of getting the baby bucket back into the house without waking her.
Sympathies, Plei. I think all of us have been there.
Yeah, car thing worked with/for me too. Getting the seats out with the boogers still asleep is the biggest trick.
I say the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.
And dark. I say it's time for a glass of wine.
I'm 400 words into a 1800 word paper and the brain is ded.
Blarg.
Is the vaccuum cleaner thing like the car thing? Sound and vibration? Maybe you could try that and skip the transferring of the sprog?
Or, if you have it in-house, clothes dryer, perhaps
Do not put the baby IN the dryer.
Especially not if you're going to turn it on.
This is wild, there is a woman on Antiques Roadshow who is a great, great, great, great grand daughter of John Brown.
This makes her a distant cousin of mine (I'm decended from one of his brothers). Its kinda weird.
(What sign?)
Up.
It's the one we've been using the longest.
Still no nap from her, but I dozed for a couple while she was nursing. She's no longer fussing, but sleep looks like it's going to have to wait until after Paul's done working on the pipes.
Her cousin was a car sleeper. She's not, though.
