DD just went to sleep. She was tired enough that she fell asleep as soon as I put her in the crib. That was almost too easy. Let's see how the rest of the night goes. Im nervous but also excited... Please keep your fingers crossed Update to follow...

Man this is hard But doable ! DD is tired. She cries then does her little moan that she does before falling asleep soon. Its like she forgets for a sec that she was complaining ... The paci definitely plays a big roll in this mess. but so far we are still all alive...

Fcuking DH ! now he's telling me how he just read that cio can cause brain damage and we need to talk to the doc first. This is so much harder without support and blame that Im hurting my baby

You know what?  There's info out there either way.  Some say it's good for baby because it helps establish a healthy sleep routine.  As long as you are still checking on LO and tending to their needs, there's no need to consult the pediatrician.

Don't know how the rest of your night went, but I hope you stuck with it.  The first few days are the hardest, but if you stick to the plan (and have DH on board for moral support), it gets easier.  It helps to find something distracting to do, like watch a movie.

all of this... you gotta do what's best for everyone in your family, and if you're not sleeping because she's not sleeping, obviously that's not healthy. you gotta do what you gotta do! how did everything turn out?
