Help with a restful sleep for baby??
Okay, my baby is about 6 months old.
She's grown too long for her bassinet.
We tried putting her in her room in her crib, but I wasn't ready for that switch and she wasn't either (she normally sleeps allll night until 6-8a but she woke up at 3 screaming).
She woke up because she throws her legs in her sleep to where her body rotates until she bangs her head on the crib bars.
We put a pack n play in our room for her, and she rotates in that as well (I counted two full rotations last night) to where she get bunched up in the mesh siding with her head bent to her shoulders. That also wakes her up and causes screaming.
All of this rotating also creates tangles in her hair which probably adds to the cries.
Is there something I can do to help her get a more restful sleep? She can't be in the bassinet but it seems that's the only place she wants to sleep 😔
She is no longer swaddled, she doesn't nap, and I am unable to cosleep now that she's mobile lol
How can I help her? I feel bad that she is this way. I don't want to add anything to the bed unless her doctor approves it, ya know?
