1. evening of "sleep training"

So after yet another night of DD waking each hour (!) and me feeding her back to sleep we decided to do sleep training or at least try to do something about it. I have read NCSS and have implemented the stable bedtime routine, bath, book, breast and then bed and she was off to sleep quickly at 6.30pm. But the next step, trying to have DH calm her back to sleep the first time she wakes up does not seem very successful. I am listening to her crying and feel terrible about it, but at least he is there to comfort her. We decided to give him half an hour and if she is not sleeping by then I go up and nurse her to sleep again. Wish me luck!

    GL! My DH has been helping more with the nighttime parenting and it has gotten much better. It was rough at first, but within 5 days it was much better.

    How did it go?  DH can't soothe DS at night, it is so sad to listen to :(

    It was really sad listening to but after 35 min she finally fell asleep again (she didn't cry the whole time though). The second time she only took 10 min to fall asleep again. But the rest of the night was the same. DD comes to my bed around 1 am and keep stirring almost every hour where I feed her to sleep again. We will try to keep at it for this week and see if there are any improvements. Thing is I start 'real' work (part time) this week so I really need my rest now. Good luck to you Quazel.
