Em fell asleep on her belly!

Another fussy go-to-bed period for the girls. Not as bad as last night, but odd just the same.

This time though, I tried a different tactic. Instead of getting them up, I laid both girls next to each other in our bed and tried to get Em to nurse herself to sleep.

I guess she was full, because she wanted nothing to do with it. Abby, on the other hand, who was on the other side of Emily, was gett mad, so I switch. I nursed Abby and get Emily behind my back.

Em kept trying to roll to her side — these girls are side sleepers but couldn’t, probably because I was creating too much of a hill for her to roll against.

So, I used my elbow to push her over and she got onto her belly. Within a minute, she was out. Since Abby was still nursing, I kept my hand on Em’s back (babies aren’t supposed to sleep on their bellies for SIDS reasons) to make sure she was breathing then put them both in their crib — on their backs, but they both immediately rolled to their sides.

Of course, guess who woke up in time for midnight? 🙂
