The shirt off my back
Here is another one of those tips that I read from the baby sleep books. Although I had tried it before when Aaron was a newborn, it didn't seem to work then. I tried it again this week and for several days now, his morning naps have been 90 mins instead of 45 mins.

It is weird that your olfactory is still functioning on a passive mode when you are snoozing....
It's the same idea that we used to use when we had to ship our dog in a kennel on overseas trips - each of us would put an article of our clothing in the kennel with her, and the smell was comforting. On a basic level, we're all really animals and we use all of our senses. Why else to women spend so much on perfumes?
I LOVE IT!!!!! SO SWEET
That is a trick that I used with Princess H. I had to go to Chicago on a business trip when she was 6 months old. My shirt and frozen breast milk kept her managable. Me? I was a wreck.
My mom tried that with me when she thought I missed the confinement lady, only did she know YEARS later that I have problems breathing and that's the reason why I kept crying in the middle of the night. Years later i.e. a few years ago. Glad it's working with Aaron. Try giving him two shirts next time. He might sleep double the time! :-D
