“No, she will wake up in the transfer” “Well not if you train her!”
What’s with everyone’s preference for baby naps and sleep in general? Is it inconvenient that I’m nap-trapped every day? Yes, but she is a BABY, only three months old, and I am only willing to work on one issue at a time, taking contact naps whenever possible.
If they wake up after being transferred to the person asking for them (assuming I’m prepared to let them hold the baby in the first place), they are responsible for soothing the baby down.
You may not be able to train the baby in this manner, but you may be able to teach the recipient how to ask.
I tried implementing a “you wake the baby, you take the baby” rule with my mother, but it didn’t work. There is always the possibility that something else woke the infant; she has never accepted responsibility. This is ridiculous.
That’s a nice idea in theory, but in practice, the baby is unlikely to be calmed by anybody other than her mother, and the OP will still have to deal with a wailing, irritable infant.
That is fine as long as the one who initiates it gets a 10-minute college attempt. I’m not trying to punish the infant, and bouncing on the exercise ball for 3 minutes appears to soothe most tantrums thus far.
Ideally, you don’t have to use it more than once or twice before the adult gets the clue.
I’ve never figured out how to stop the infant from crying. He finds things out on his own, or I send him to his father. That being said, he’s a year and a half old and only screams when he’s hurt or is extremely drowsy.
I’d like to try this, but my MIL starts clapping, making loud noises, and chanting to keep my tired baby awake. Similarly, if I try to move him to the crib. "Oh, he awoke! “I’ll keep him awake so I can play with him!”
Sounds like grandma volunteered for the graveyard shift
