So our beautiful daughter Addie is 4 1/2 months old now, and she's the most adorable thing in the whole entire world. Except in order to sleep, she needs to be swaddled, rocked, shushed, held sideways, and given a pacifier, and she wakes up 2-5 times a night. So tonight, after having read like 4 sleep books (okay, so Mrs. Utoo read them all... ), we're finally doing Ferber.
We put her down around 8 tonight & she bawled right off the bat. Checked on her after 3 minutes & still crying. Went in 5 minutes later, then 10 minutes after that---still screaming. So hard! But you know what? Twenty-five minutes after we put her down, she was passed out.
So....fingers crossed.....hopefully this won't be a terrible ordeal forever & Addie can figure out this sleep thing before too long.
man, i don't think i've ever used that many smilies...
