sleep training

This entry was posted on Sep 21 2009

We started sleep training Elijah on Saturday night. Decided finally it was becoming too great a risk that he might wake up in the night and crawl off the edge or something. Besides it was just time. This isn’t the typical sleep training. Its a mix of attachment method and sleep training. Trying to help him sleep on his own while I’m present so he doesn’t feel abandoned. Just going by instinct- hope I’m not confusing the kid.

Saturday he cried 2 hours and fell asleep sitting indian-style – sheer exhaustion.

Sunday we laid him down and he went right to sleep- church all day can do that to you.

Monday he cried 1 hour 50 minutes and I finally nursed him to sleep when he gestured he was hungry.

Tuesday cried for 40 minutes before falling asleep mid-cry… progress
