Parenting after a Loss

CIO update

I know I posted the other day that we were making progress but I think I can finally post today that IT WORKED! Today is day 8. She napped for an hour this morning, an hour and 20 minutes this afternoon and is down for a 3rd nap right now. There was a tiny bit of fussing today but NO SCREAMING at all. She is happy, energetic and full of smiles when she wakes up. She really is like a totally different baby.

I know CIO isn't the right choice for every family but I do believe that with a lot of commitment, patience and support, it really can work. Babies can only learn what we take the time to teach them. I am SO proud of my little girl! :)?
