To Sleep, Perchance To Have a Free Hand Or Two

My friend Nikki, who gave birth to the current cutest-baby-in-the-world titleholder (after the world's easiest labor, you don't even want to know), Madeline, needs some advice. The little darling refuses to sleep unless she is on top of someone. Not next to, on top of. Unfortunately, I didn't solve this problem for months with Peanut, even with the assistance of prescribed narcotics. Anybody have any advice for her? No, Anna and Dana may not answer this question, because you'll just scare her with your stories of children not sleeping. I need happy stories, people. Please?

Um, my son is turning two next week and I am still waiting for someone to help me figure that problem out...
If she gets any answers, please pass them on. I would like to sleep without having a toddler arm/leg/foot on top of me, though it beats his whole body...

We had the same problem with Abby - she wanted to feel our warmth and the heartbeat. She outgrew it at about 9 months.....heheheheh....I mean, I am really sorry to hear that they will never sleep the same again. Really, I'm sorry....I wish them good luck.
