You are the third perso...Thanks for the kind words! You are the third person who had a hard time commenting today, so I should take that as a hint and see if I can fix that! The baby did actually JUST start sleeping (3 weeks or so ago)...crying it out for the short span of time that we tried that DID NOT WORK and all it did was make me feel awful! But I didn't just let her cry for long periods of time. The "real" cry it out method involves a few minutes of crying and then reassuring her that you know she's there. Then a minute longer, etc etc. She did fall asleep, but she wasn't...she just wasn't RESTFUL, you know? So we stopped. But I think what actually was keeping her up was the SMELL of breast milk! Even if I didn't give it to her, once I went in there the POSSIBILITY of breast milk was there. My husband took a week off of work, and only he went in for that entire week. After about 4 nights (so far, KNOCK.ON.WOOD!) she slept through every night, knowing that Daddy had no milk! (The past week of sleep has been the best of my life.)

I don't always agree with it all but I respect it and you for your honesty<br />3) no I don't cry it out, I am pretty against it....but I have in the past before learning that it kills brain cells....however it didn't work. <br />4) have you tried taking her to a chiropractor? I have a kid just like her and weighted blankets help too. We followed her cue and started a routine of two books a night then sitting with her til she fell asleep..we moved the routine up 15 mins once a week until we got it to a reasonable time and by then she was falling asleep quickly anyway. Her bed is in our room too which helps it seems. Its been a long journey but now I get to sleep...well sort of, the bedsharing toddler is on the boob lol. <br /><br />Anyway, chiropractor and awesome blog! chipper87https://www.blogger.com/profile/12918564191983882262noreply@blogger.com
