That's it! I can't do it anymore!!! Kyle has turned into a terrible sleeper! Last night be woke up five times! I'm so exhausted...this can't continue! Sleep training has begun!
Plan: cut naps down to two. One at ten and one at two. Nighttime: feed Kyle big meal of solids an hour before bed and nurse him for the last time at the beginning of our bedtime routine. Put him to bed awake. Let him cry. Five minutes later if he is still crying, go in and put his blanket back on, hush him and leave. When he wakes at night, wait for ten minutes and go in. No feeding!
Day one: cried for five minutes, went in and told him to go to sleep...he stopped crying and went to sleep. Fingers crossed for tonight's sleep!
day one sounds like it worked great! I hope he keeps it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. He has always been good about going to sleep, but waking upon the middle of the night is the tough part! But a couple bad nights is worth it!
