16 Mo. Old Falling Asleep in Swing

Name: Pam K.

Federal Way, WA

Number of kids: 2

Ages of kids: 3, 16 months

Problem: Our 16 month old still likes to fall asleep in her baby swing. Any suggestions on how to get her to fall asleep in her crib. We are willing to try anything.

Solution submitted by Mo of Calumet City, IL : I have a couple ideas for you. First, you should try to feed the baby followed by a bath, that should make the baby relaxed. Secondly, maybe add a night light and some quiet music. The final idea that has always worked for me is a Heartbeat lullaby tape that I got at [the store] (In the kids section), it plays lullabies while a faint heartbeat plays in the background. It doesn't just work for infants.

Please submit any more solutions.
