Ada Verastic taking a nap yesterday afternoon<\/p><\/div>\n
I have been trying to get her to sleep in her crib at night, but to no avail. During the night, she moves around and randomly holds or touches me, as if to make sure that I’m still there. If she moves around and does not touch me because I’m too far away, she cries. I won’t lie to you by saying that this is something I don’t like. I think I blush and do mental back flips every time she reaches for me. And I don’t know how true this is, but I heard that babies know the smell of their mom. I hope it’s true.<\/p>\n
So for now, Ada Verastic only sleeps in her crib during the day for her naps. I put her in there because she has proven several times that she cannot be trusted on the bed alone. Ever since she started rolling around, she seems to be on a personal mission to roll off the bed. Now that she’s crawling, though, she’s even more mobile, as you can imagine, so she’s not allowed to sleep on the adult bed with no adult.<\/p>\n
I’d like to get her to sleep through the night in her crib, but somewhere deep inside my heart, I think I might be lying to myself. There was a day I put her in her crib at night to see if she’d stay there without crying. I got into my bed and I kept waiting anxiously for her to cry for me. Finally, she did. So yeah, it seems like I might need her as much as she needs me.<\/p>\n
Who knows how to get a baby to sleep in her crib? I’m asking for my future self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
