Well it worked!

We bunkered down last night and decided to work with Megan on getting her to sleep IN the crib without the car seat. With Logan gone for the night at Grandma and Papa's it seemed a good night to deal with loud constant wakings. Got Meg to sleep at 8pm. Put her down at 8:30. She was making noises by 9 and into a full out yell by 9:30. Got her back down by 10....where she slept until 5:30am this morning. She got up, ate again and has now, at 7:30am, been back sleeping in her crib for over an hour.

Mind you, this has been her pattern for over a month now even using the car seat. If she falls asleep before she's "full" or if you put her down when she's not out cold she'll wake up and want to either eat again or be cuddled, sung to and rocked before staying down for the night.

So who knows when we could have ditched the car seat but apparently now its gone. Hopefully this will do what the OT hopes and help her little neck right itself.
