Isla would wake up and scream every time I put her down after falling asleep in my arms, didn't matter what I did or where I put her. Swing, nope. Bouncy seat, never. Baby hammock, still no. Crib, not a chance. Cradle, heck no. I was at a loss. I wasn't able to get much accomplished while holding her. And, then a few days ago, I placed her on her belly, and she slept 3 hours! First time ever during the day.
After finding this out, she now sleeps anywhere. Crib, cradle, bed, ground, whatever. Makes for a much happier baby, still a bit high maintenance, but I'll take it.
Exact same thing happened with Norah, she was a whole new girl when I realized this. I started talking about this with other moms and realized many others had the same experience. Glad it's working for you!!
