Re: Getting baby to sleep put of little chair

We had the same problem, and a nurse recommended putting a drawer in the crib (temporarily) and having the baby sleep in there, because it feels a bit more enclosed than the huge crib. That was at a few months, though, so your 6 month old may be a bit big, depending on the drawer size! ;)

Another thing the nurse had us do was put a can of tuna fish under the top two posts of the bed to tilt it upward a bit, which may help it feel a bit more like the chair, and also help if acid reflux is a problem. We also put a rolled up towell under the drawer for extra "tilting." Good luck!
