The Exhaust Fan is Genius
So it's the little things that work. Not the $14.99 mirror with attached teething ring, not the $19.99 Sheep Sleep (with four built in sounds - mother's heartbeat, spring showers, ocean sounds, and whale songs). But when you are in a jam. Lilly Rose screaming, crying, fighting sleep, and she's downstairs, turn the oven on. Turn the exhaust fan oven, and she's a happy, happy camper. And a sleepy, sleepy camper. Mark was cooking the other night, had the exhaust fan on, and we noticed it lulled Lilly to sleep. I guess its the white noise that babies love so much. So yesterday, during the afternoon nap, well one of them, she was fighting sleep, sucking on her pacifier ( another soothing mechanism), and we tried a bunch of things to keep her asleep. And the sheep sleep sounds not working (it's tied to her pack and play), was desperate for something, something to keep her asleep. And remembered that she took to the exhaust fan, the other night, so turned it on, and sure enough, with her peace pipe (pacifier) and the fan in the background, she stayed right asleep. Check out the video. Now I must write a disclaimer, that even though it worked superbly at the afternoon sleep, come the early evening, she was definitely not taking to it. So here's to it working once a day ( I'll take that!) and the Sheep Sleep working the other times (it's working right now!).
