I love the description of Dylan as a chunk of pressed ham! I can never come up with the right words to describe my 9 month old daughter, but you’ve got it exactly.

Put him back in the swing. Our daughter slept in hers til she was at least a year old, and then we transitioned her to the crib (with the help of Ferber) pretty easily.

But since when children started the developing process of their habilities earlier (about thirty years ago), the perents are becoming no longer the superheroes in kid´s world. I´m against these new ways that books are trying to make us follow. Perhaps, in a few years we´ll be able to deal with them in many different (and accepted) ways. However, i see your point.

Have a pleasant week!

Before becoming a parent, I thought my only goal would be to get my baby to sleep through the night and then *poof*! Sleeping problems solved. Ha.

Who knew that you also had to get them to sleep for naps and that sometimes they wake up too early from a nap, or even when they do sleep through the night, you pray that it keeps happening each night because sometimes they wake up at 4am for no reason and talk to themselves for an hour.

My baby is 6 mo old – perhaps it gets easier when they can talk and tell you what they want??

I have no goddamn idea what makes our munchkin sleep through some nights…and wake once an hour…for others…wtf? I have noticed though, that one of the things that wakes him (our kid) is that he craps himself EVERY night…and that looser pyjamas seem to keep him more comfortable…but that’s just a loose theory at this point.

So far this week…we’ve had a night with about 2 wake-up, two nights of waking every hour from 3am on…and then last night…12 hours..uninterrupted….

I keep trying to figure out what I did right/wrong…but other than loose pyjamas…I can’t come up with anything!

good luck!

I’d try the Amby Baby and a white noise maker before resorting to CIO. CIO shouldn’t ever be used, IMO (as we know), but good things have been said about the Amby. Well worth the money, and you can always try to find it used.

You look awesome in that picture! I am impressed. You don’t look like you have been up a gazillion times at all.

You did however bring back memories from all three of my children. I could perfectly hear the beginning cries that you described. This is good birth control for me ;) Also the pp has me scared about the big bed transition. We haven’t made that leap yet with number three. I am NOT looking forward to it.

(I did not read the 60 comments before mine, so sorry if I am the 10th person to say this)

As far as the cry it out method, for me if I give it a time. Like 10 minutes. Then it feels better, like we are working toward something. Then maybe the next night we do 11 minutes.

We just went through the crib to big bed trasition and after endless nights of coddling it was the let him cry method that worked.

Good luck!!!
