Katelyn hasn't been in her crib more than 10 minutes total. But last night, I tried putting her in the crib, and it worked out awesome!
Putting together what I had read about reflux, I propped up her bed with a wedge so it is inclined. I have two pillows in there o support her on either side so she doesn't roll.
After I fed her, I kept her upright (she stayed swaddled, but quietly wide awake for about an hour. Geoffrey came in to visit us and we went back to tuck him into bed again first). At 10:45 she fell asleep, and she had been upright for so long that I put her in the crib just to try it. She slept until 2:45! I fed her in the rocking chair, kept her upright for thirty minutes, and then put her back in bed at 3:45 - she slept until 6:45 in her crib! I fed her, kept her upright, and put her back down at 7:45. She slept until 9:30 in her crib!
Awesome! So we're moving towards getting her to sleep in her bed and pushing her bedtime closer to Geoffrey's - last night felt very promising! I know she's young and things are still changing, but I am hopeful that we are going to be in good shape by the time I am going back to work...
