I've been thinking about seeing if I could hire one of those swings, so might take you up on that offer! Otherwise, I think I'll keep going with the sling, as that patting after the first cycle never worked for Alyssa either and its too hard to keep a track of time when I'm dealing with Alyssa anyway! At least he'll settle nicely at night and sleeps well in the bassinett! Got 5 hours out of him in a stretch last night
