He has been going to bed wide awake for months. Some days are better than others that is for sure. It will get easier. <BR/><BR/>How did it go for you?Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09453842252382212132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-38300120593296723582009-02-28T16:55:00.000-06:002009-02-28T16:55:00.000-06:00When we had our firstborn, my husband literally ha...When we had our firstborn, my husband literally had to hold me down to keep me from going to her in the middle of the night. The only way they learn to sooth themselves to sleep is if you let them cry first...difficult, but worth it in the long run! You did good!<BR/><BR/>Recently we switched my youngest from his crib to his toddler bed. It was time. He had outgrown his crib but wanted it so badly when we made the transition. He cried at nap time and cried at bed time. I again had to fight the urge to run to his rescue and comfort him. After about two days, he decided he loves his new bed. : )<BR/><BR/>Different stages bring different challenges. Hopefully it won't be long before a routine settles in and you start to get more sleep. Hang in there! <BR/><BR/>-Melissamholgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418317558780973735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-68051672072714580782009-02-28T10:29:00.000-06:002009-02-28T10:29:00.000-06:00I hope that it worked.

It helped us keep to a sleep routine, and that was about the only thing that helped C establish that it was bedtime. We still do a pre-sleep routine, with N too. For some babies the book works like a charm, and others like mine seem to follow just bits and pieces of it. Like I said before, it wasn't until a couple of times that we accidently left the monitor off all night long and me sleeping so hard from fatigue that Ia siren couldn't wake me up that mine started to sleep 12 hrs overnight.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237131795065754244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-71936221231665920902009-02-28T07:40:00.000-06:002009-02-28T07:40:00.000-06:00Miss O still wakes frequently overnight, and the f...Miss O still wakes frequently overnight, and the first waking is anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours after the 30-60 minute "go to sleep kid" struggle ... believe me, I hear ya on the resentment :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you've found a solution that works for all of you!!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925344793260230297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-57843813096518651262009-02-28T02:10:00.000-06:002009-02-28T02:10:00.000-06:00I remember those nights...they were long...and we'...I remember those nights...they were long...and we'll have them again soon enough. It's tough. Sometimes you think, "Kid, you're tired, why aren't you sleeping?" It just doesn't make sense, and you feel like they're doing it on purpose. argh!! And it doesn't help that you're tired too. Hope you are able to take a break from time to time, even if it's a short one, to get refresh. Take care.<BR/><BR/>- Joyce<BR/>http://joyceandnorm.wordpress.comJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403074079317172995noreply@blogger.com
