Question about happiest baby on the block techniques...

I understand the 5 S's and they work great to calm Logan down.

But they always put him right to sleep.

My question: Is there no middle ground?

I either have a fussy crying baby or a conked out one.

Do I not get a content awake baby at a point using those techniques?

Re: Question about happiest baby on the block techniques...

I used the techniques as well. Maybe if you only implement a few of them to get the baby to calm down and not all five. I think I'd fall asleep if someone did all of those things for me too!

My DD never really got to the sleep mode out of the 5 S's. I was lucky if she got to the "calm down" point. Her colic was BAD!! In many ways, you should consider yourself lucky.

Thank you.

I agree I'm lucky that he can be calmed to sleep. I just wish he had some happy waking time.

He is quite young still, quiet alert time comes later!

He's so little yet- now they mostly sleep- IF YOU ARE LUCKY.

I think you are one of the lucky ones- enjoy while you can At 7 wks you will be laughing at this thread.
