I came across a blog post on Pinterest today about sleep training your baby. lately waverly is having a hard time staying asleep after I put her down for the night, so i read the post out of curiosity. of course what I found is that I have sleep trained my baby to sleep in my arms. am I surprised by this? no. will I change my ways? no. the highlight of my night is rocking my sleeping baby who I know from experience won't sleep like this forever. the blog post recommended that you never hold your sleeping baby - even as a newborn. thankful that I have the sense to know that while that might work for some, it most definitely isn't advice for me. I'm enjoying rocking my sleeping girl now. even if she does wake up after I lay her down. soon enough she will be too big for my arms, so for now I will rock her and breathe her in. love her baby smell & her soft cheeks & her sweet breath.
