From the night before:
Cried 1 hour.
Slept until 1 AM.
Put to bed at 1:25 AM
Cried 40 minutes.
Slept 20 minutes.
Cried 15 minutes.
Got him up and changed/fed him.
Back to bed at 2:45 AM.
Didn't cry.
Slept until 6:45 AM.
Worried I've ruined our hard work by getting him up again after the 1:00 feeding but didn't know what else to do. He was fine though. When I did get him up, he was smiling and laughing on the changing table within 30 seconds. Little goober.
Put to bed at 9:30 AM
Didn't cry. (Poor thing is exhausted!)
Slept until 11:00 AM
Put to bed at 1:45 PM (So tired!)
Cried maybe 15 seconds?
Slept until 3:45 PM
Put to bed at 6:20 PM
Still crying at 6:25 PM.
I wonder why he cries at night, but not during the day?
I left a little bit of light in the room tonight thinking that was making the difference.
I don't know if I can keep doing this if we have another night like last night.

Sleep training is so hard! It goes against EVERY instinct a mother has, letting her baby cry like that. BUT it's better to do it now than to wait. Trust me, the older they get the harder it is!
Ugh! Just reading these sleep training posts makes me tired and weary of that first year with a baby. I honestly chalk up Princess's good sleeping habits to laziness. Yes, that's right.
Honey and I were too lazy to get out of bed right away. If it was just the normal crying or fussing it would take us at least 2 minutes to move. Thus Princess learned to self-soothe and put herself back to sleep.
Hang in there!
OH! Does this bring back memories with Nathan!!!!
I remember you giving me strength to do JUST this. Remember??
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Bean really took to it quick - as did Ava. Our boys are the ones!!!!!!!
I'm thinking about you. xoxo Julie
