I'm probably jinxing myself but I had to report that my child slept from 12:45am-8:10am!!
When we tried letting her CIO MOTN in the past it didn't work for us (I'm thinking because of her poor eating). I decided to revisit CIO again but now I've been nursing her and if she wakes when I put her down, I've let her cry (with a check in if I feel it's necessary).
Night 1 she slept 6.5hrs straight, night 2 we only got a 4hr stretch, last night was night 3 and it definitely was awesome!
Please send all of your prayers, thoughts, and sleeping toddler dust my way. I'm really, really hoping we've turned a corner. I also hope this improves her daytime eating and drinking.
Thanks to all of you who have shown concern for our situation, it means a lot, @maymomNY you come to mind, I know there are many others. Thanks ladies, I just needed to share my good news!
Very well. She went to bed at 7:45 and didn't wake until 1:45am. I nursed her and she went down no problem. She woke up a little before 6am. I let her cry/whine for about 5 mins and she went back to sleep and slept till 7:15.
Then, for nap time I nursed her and she fell asleep. She freaked out when I put her down so I calmed her down and put her back in the crib. She cried for about 10 mins and then napped for almost 3 hours. She usually doesn't make it more than an hour and a half!

Soooo hoping this continues!
Last night was a shit show but I really think she's getting a tooth. Tonight I'm going to give her ibuprofen before bed. That usually helps.
Thanks for asking!
