I think I would probably feel the same way if Kaylee was still on a serious med like the Vig or ACTH. It's so hard to hear them cry. Good job, mom and dad!! Way to get some much needed sleep.<BR/><BR/>Our pedi told us that sleeping through the night is often not an automatic. It must be taught. He told us (with Ethan) that we were actually depriving him of sleep by not allowing him to work it out on his own. He said start out with incriments of 10 min and add 10 more min (maxing out at 30) every night ( of letting him cry it out). It only took 4 days and he started sleeping all night. He was 16 months when we did this ;)Shanna Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863808423565134938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600278351249979209.post-88846967745259957012009-02-19T17:56:00.000-08:002009-02-19T17:56:00.000-08:00As hard as it is to do the "Ferber Method", which ...As hard as it is to do the "Ferber Method", which you seem to be describing, it so pays off in the end! We did it with Hollis at 4 months old, after having to drive her in the car to get her to sleep, and ever since, she's been an excellent sleeper. She usually sleeps about 12 hours straight! Keep up the hard work!Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876535387934494390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600278351249979209.post-90167647649758421582009-02-17T19:43:00.000-08:002009-02-17T19:43:00.000-08:00Yay for you...and Trevy too!

Deciding what to do.<BR/>B & I just had this conversation tonight as Bup is having a difficult time going to sleep...wants us there....and is waking throughout sometimes and always around 5am.<BR/>I'm so glad you all got some extra sleep last night.Sleep makes one a better parent!:) Coffee too...so I've heard!lol:)<BR/>We use a melatonin combined with a couple other homeopathic items for W as sleep is a real stuggle with him. It's saved every one's sanity, including W's, plus he's healthier and happier after a good night's sleep. It took me awhile to get my head around this but our Naturopath and RN were so supportive.<BR/>Anyway, enough about me...<BR/>I am so happy for you!Mrs. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626193534014237894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600278351249979209.post-78009130203682814162009-02-17T17:42:00.000-08:002009-02-17T17:42:00.000-08:00yay! hope u have many more sleep-filled nights in...yay! hope u have many more sleep-filled nights in ur future!!!<BR/><BR/>xoxox,<BR/>sharonMama Skateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759832371415292719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600278351249979209.post-80233843163435406772009-02-17T12:21:00.000-08:002009-02-17T12:21:00.000-08:00While I don't know what it's like to have a child ...While I don't know what it's like to have a child on meds like Trevy, as a mom myself, I think it sounds more like a toddler just wanting attention in the middle of the night. When that don't happen, he seemed to just zonk back out on his own. Praying that that is all it is and he will soon be sleeping through the night and you will have less chances of waking up cranky!! *smile*Adestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255048845212923176noreply@blogger.com
