Tell me I'm going to survive the ferber process this weekend....please?

Other sleep methods have not worked. DD does not get enough sleep, and neither do we - she is up 2-3x a night every night, and often sleeps only 7-8 broken up hours at night. Not enough.

So it's Ferber for us. I am dreading it. Tell me I'll live through her screams? Please.

You will, but definitely get his book and read it before starting. It'll help so much.

I have it, and have read it cover to cover. It helped process-wise, but certainly not with my dread of letting her CIO.

Once she starts sleeping, you will be so glad! Everyone will be much happier. Good luck!

You can do it. Stay strong and find things for you to do that take 10-15 minutes so that you have something to occupy your wait time in between the times when you check on her. I would cut coupons from the Sunday paper and then go check, read an article in a magazine and then go check, check my email and then go check. The first night I just stood outside his bedroom door and went nuts listening to him cry. The second night I tried doing some of the things I mentioned instead of just standing there and it was a lot better. With ds it only took 3 nights.

I'm a little late but here's how it all went down for us!

Day 1 :he cried an hour and a half (yeah that was hard but we followed the checkin guidelines)

Day 2 :18 minutes

Day 3 minutes

Day 4 he just babbled.

There have been days here and there where he has cried a half hour out of pure exhaustion. But then again, there are more days, like tonite, that he doesn't cry at all.

It worked wonders for us! I hope it went well!
