Battery Induced Sleep

Is it bad that Super Pooper only naps in the baby swing? Well, that’s not entirely true. She also naps in her bouncy seat and car seat. It’s not that I haven’t tried putting her down in her bassinette, cradle and crib (yes, she has three beds), it’s just that she doesn’t stay asleep there very long. While I worry my reliance on battery induced sleep will come back to haunt me when she’s too big for the swing, I’m quick to forego my feeble attempts to get her to sleep lying down so she’ll take a longer nap. Nap time is crucial to the work-at-home mom! So this is my rationalization. A well-rested baby is a happier baby.
Therefore, when my dad saw her head flopped over to the side and asked, “Do you think that hurts her neck sleeping like that?” I hesitate just long enough to dismiss my first thought of maybe, but she’s asleep and respond, “She slept in the womb all hunched over. She’s fine.”
