Holy Crap. No joke. For the first time in my LO almost ten month life, the past two nights I have done this, LO has slept all without waking even once?!?!?!? Unbelievable! I'm in shock!!
The first night was awful. I cried while watching the video monitor. It didn't take as long as I thought and I went in silently and laid him down and put my hand on his chest. He fell asleep almost instantly. And stayed asleep ALL NIGHT!!!! I didn't sleep at all because I kept checking on him.
Tonight almost no crying and he instantly went to bed. He's safe. He's been fed and has a fresh diaper. He's just overtired(as some ladies helped me figure out). We use to bedshare but I wasn't sleeping and he was waking constantly. We needed a new plan fast. I will say I miss the snuggles.
Re: Modified Ferber succes!
Another little piece of advice, if LO cries after already being asleep for a while,count for 30-60 seconds before going in. Sometimes they cry/fuss when they are trying to get comfy. So try not to run in right away. Thats been my saver!
