ugh, i ask this as i am listening to joey scream i am on the 15 minute interval, and i don't think i can do it..

i just need either encouragement or something..i hate it..the poor little guy is getting picked on because hes the "easy" one. i rocked ronnie to sleep in the new rocker seat in our bedroom, and hes sleeping right now..joey fusses it out for naps all the time..but at night he screams his head off if hes in the crib awake

it sounds like hes on his way to falling asleep..but i feel so darn cruel.

i know its for the best for all of us..now im gonna have to figure out how to do ronnie too ?

If I can do it you can do it.. It works.. The first night was HELL. He went on for 3 yes THREE hours.. It was awful.. Night 2.. 30 min. night 3... 3 mintues. now NOTHING.. he just goes to bed. It was super hard, but worth every second of pain.. Go take a shower.. that will keep you from going in. I also set a timer.. I have the most stubborn child in the universe.. but he sleeps in his own bed alone all night (11+ hours) and goes to bed in less than 5 minutes.. I promise it works...

I agree with bpaullo.......if we can do it....so can YOU!!! Trust us, it works. The first few nights are SO hard. I felt HORRIBLE. He will fall asleep....do NOT give up!!!

The first night for us was like 1.5 hours......2nd night about 40 minutes.....3rd night he was asleep during that "10 minute interval" and by the fourth night he was crying for less than 5 minutes. After that......he went to bed on his own without any crying....

YOU CAN DO IT.....It works!! Trust me....it will be worth it

GL!
