My new pal Renee shared a tip with me that, so far, seems to be working!
We were chatting about getting babies to sleep (and stay asleep) and she mentioned that I could try putting a recently worn shirt or tank top near my baby. The idea is that the scent lingers on the clothing, and they are reassured in their sleep.
Johnny does seem to notice when I’m not right at his side or in the immediate vicinity. Maybe he likes how I smell. Heh.
I have him in his swing and I put a blanket on him. I took off my tank top and put that on top of his blanket. I’ve been able to move about and get things done while he sleeps and dreams about who knows what.
I’m glad the eau de Kacie trick worked! Do you think that counts as recycling if you can give purpose to an already worn t-shirt before washing it? (Maybe I am pretty crunchy.) Green, or not, I’m glad you got a few minutes to yourself.
