Larkin loves: Sleeping <3



Larkin loves sleeping! Just recently he's been sleeping then eating. I think it might be a growth spurt. So during the day he sleeps in his bouncer which I'll show down below. We currently all live with my mom ( I loveeeee) so its a bit tight. Even if we did have room for Larkin to be on his own, he wouldn't be sleeping in there at night. I really enjoy having him right beside me as he's snoozing. He doesn't sleep thru the night by a long stretch . I'm not a schedule junkie so he sleeps when he wants and eats when he wants. Right now he's 8 weeks old and he sleeps in 2-3 hour stretches still. Most nights he falls asleep at 10 and is up by 12-1. Then he wakes again at 3-4. These usually last around an hour. So it's still been tough. 
This is my first must have for sleeping. The first month of his life he slept in babies r us sleepers. I loved this one because it has a zipper and that makes nights easier. Now he simply can't sleep in them because we live in florida and it's way to hot. But for the first month he was comfy.
Now this thing is amazing. I know that everyone has an opinion on how baby should sleep at night but this works for us. We do use the pack n play bassinet but most of the time he sleeps in this. I put it right beside my bed and just rock him to sleep . 
This is the set larkin has and we use every piece. Now last week if you would have asked we never used the swing but he's found an interest in it this week. During the day he sleeps in the swing or the bouncer. I would pay so much for that bouncer. He loves it so much.
I don't think we could have a blanket on him as much as we do without this company. Aden and Anais have the best blankets.they are breathable and light weight ( great for florida )  Now I do let him sleep with the blanket but I tuck it all the way around his bottom. Like swaddling his bottle half. 
This last one is hit and miss. Sometimes we use this to put him to sleep. He only likes nuk brand or tommee tippee pacifiers. 

 That's it for my sleeping must haves for my little guy! 

 What's yours?
