On the sleeping–since Tashi was a fall/winter baby, and even though I made a point of going out (or else I’d go crazy), we definitely had her napping at home–but had to transition her from bouncy to crib. But once we made the switch, I also noticed she slept better, as the sleep books promise.

I know what you mean about worrying they feel reassured that they’re okay in the crib–but since she sleeps at night there fine, it’s just a little step to make it so she sleeps there during the day, too. Then you get to transition to the tyranny of the nap.
