You're exhausted, but you can't stand to let baby cry herself to sleep? It's a topic of near-constant discussion on www.HawaiiMoms.com. One painless approach: "I used to bore my kids into napping!" says one woman who calls herself GnLsMom. "Put 'em in the crib and lay on the floor or futon and then don't move. Pretend to nap. Only I usually ended up napping along with him, which wasn't a bad thing." Got a Mom-Tested Tip to share? Submit to www.HawaiiMoms.com or hawaiimoms@honoluluadvertiser.com.
