Soothing Ezra To Sleep
After Ezra officially is put to bed for the night there are typically a couple of Ezra Aftershocks with him waking with a teething pain, a gas bubble, or some other discomfort that may arouse him from his sleep. -v- and I are then alerted to this discomfort through one of the two baby monitors or a crying sound that carries through the thin walls of the house.
If -v- and I are awake, we usually take turns going into Ezra’s room and try to sooth Ezra back to sleep. My technique is simple: I try to find the pacifier and put it his mouth and hope and hope and hope that he calms and returns to peaceful sleep. If he doesn’t, then usually -v- will be needed to help sooth Ezra to sleep.
If -v- and I are sleeping, then -v- usually wakes up. On the occasion I wake up, I do the same thing I do when -v- and I are awake, which usually never works, and -v- then wakes and soothes Ezra.
