Dads are the Best!

Victory for Dad! I had been having trouble getting Wren down for her morning nap. By the time she was fed and changed, she seemed hungry again. She was fussy and I knew she was tired but just couldn't figure out why she kept acting hungry. We had had some feeding issues in the past, so I just figured she wasn't getting enough. I would feed her again, change her again, and the awful cycle would go on until 2 pm- no morning nap achieved... Enter Dad! Saturday morning, we were beginning the cycle again. She was fussy and I was making breakfast, so I asked Brance to pick her up and see if he could get her to sleep or see if she needed a bottle. A few minutes later, fussiness stopped and I went to check on them. She was fast asleep in her swing! I asked Brance the secret to his success. He said that he put her in her swing, held a pacifier in her mouth for a few minutes and she fell asleep. Glory be!!! He got our baby to sleep in about 2 minutes and it had taken me hours!!! I use the "Brance method" now after morning feedings and she is out for about 2 or 2 and a half hours. God knew what He was doing when He gave kids a mom and a dad!
