Checked out Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems (Ferber's book) this morning. After a skim, I really feel like I can do this. I don't have any doubts in my DH's ability either.
Only problem is, it will be another few nights before we implement it. Today is DH's birthday and we are going out to dinner (yay us!), tomorrow is Halloween and we will be (sort of) trick-or-treating with Sydney. Maybe the next night???
Re: I feel slightly empowered.
You can DO it!
We will need to do something too, I'm sure. We've had no crib, and before that we were traveling, so Margaux has been sleeping with me or us for two months now. Moving to the crib will be baaad news.
You definitely can do this! Stay strong.
Enjoy your date night tonight
