Sleep dilemma!

Mitsuko · Mar 12th, 2010, 16:23 PM

What the title says really! Liam is asleep in his bouncy chair. First time ever! I put him there because I had some laundry to do before going to bed. I planned to pick him up as soon as I had finished and head up to bed. But Murphy's law being what it is, he's now snoring.

What do I do, taking into consideration that:

1. It's nappy time! (We use washables and they can't usually do more than 3h)
2. Sleeping in bouncy chair is not recommended
3. I need my sleep!

What do you usually do?

i think it depends on the angle of the chair, mine is quite sloped, it does not sit up like a carseat....so i let my LO sleep in there sometimes. how does your LO do with transferring? I can sometimes quickly transfer my LO if i get her bed warm with a heating pad. i wouldnt worry about the diaper, if he wants a clean one he will wake up as he will feel uncomfortable. sounds like you need the break, so take what you can get. I think teh recommendations for not letting them sleep in the chair come from supervision issues, so why not settle right next to him?

I let him sleep but stayed on the computer. His nappy was still ok after 4 hours, I guess it was a good crash test!

Thanks Mommy!

Bit late replying but I would have probably tried to transfer him into his crib - I have found that once my LO is in a deep sleep he can be moved pretty easily without waking up. One time I moved him from moses basket in his aunties house, to car seat for taxi ride home, then from car seat to his own moses basket without him waking up.
