When Julia was a baby, she NEVER WANTED TO SLEEP. And when she DID go to sleep, her naps were short. I tried ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to get her to go down. Including trapping her in this battery-operated swing and putting it on HIGH until it made her so dizzy she had to sleep or puke lulled her into sweet, dreamy nappy time. (Oh please. Like you haven’t done similar things in desperation to get your kids to sleep. Drove them around in a car? Stuck them in their car seats on top of the vibrating dryer? Bought hundreds of dollars of wind-up crib accessories that played Mozart and Beethoven?)

Anyway, the swing worked for a while. Until she gave up napping altogether when she was 18 months old!

Oh yes she did…. I CRIED. Oh yes, I did. Like a baby.

Please COMMENT! We want to hear. It’ll make us other mommies feel less guilty to know we’re not the only ones who’ve ever been that desperate!
