Mom knows best

I have no problem following a doctor's advice medically and when I don't know another way to do something. But sometimes you have to go with your gut. I know Juliette better than the doctor does and have to trust myself. Like with naps. The doctor wanted me to leave her in her crib for 40 minutes twice a day. I tried that and yes, the baby slept, but was not getting enough rest because when she woke up, she couldn't get back to sleep. I knew she needed more rest. I put her in the swing and she can sleep peacefully for up to two hours because if she wakes up, the music and the motion put her back out and she can get the rest she needs. So sometimes you just have to say screw it and do what you know works.
