We've been having some issues with Natalie not sleeping at night. She would be fine for a little while then get very uncomfortable and start crying, then spit up. Being a new mom, every noise she makes sends me to her side... and this just wasn't doing me any good. I am definitely not a night person, so staying up until after 3am with a baby who just doesn't like being laid down on her back isn't a good thing. So this afternoon she was fussy again, she had just eaten and I was putting her down, I thought that I would give her some tummy time to help her strengthen her neck. Not 5 minutes after being put on her tummy she fell asleep... and has been for about 3 hours now. I know that it is recommended for newborns to sleep on their backs but if she does better on her tummy that is what I'm going to do.

FYI stomach sleeping is not recommended because it has been linked to SIDS or sudden infant death syndrome. Have you tried laying her on her side?
