Beginning this past weekend, Brennan has been sleeping overnight in the nursery in his crib. He is doing much better than we originally anticipated! He slept for almost five hours straight during his first night! Since then, he typically sleeps in 3-4 hours stretches and will go back to sleep easily after a diaper change and feeding. He continues to use the contour pad and now sleeps on top of a folded blanket under his bottom half to prevent him from wiggling down and becoming frustrated.
Despite having crib success overnight, he's not a fan of napping in his room during the day. He'll sleep for short periods of time and has difficulty putting himself back to sleep. He'd much rather nap in someone's arms or in one of his vibrating chairs. To help him with his jaundice, I've put him near a window/in the sun during his naps and will continue to work on him sleeping consistently in his crib!
Great job crib-sleeping! You might find that once his jaundice is gone and he can nap in a dark spot that he does better during the day, too :-)
