Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Ferber update, Night 6: NO CRYING.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG it's a fcuking miracle.  I feel like H and I should be toasting with champagne.  And she is SUCH a happier little girl the past week; this whole thing is just a win-win.

Dr. Ferber is now in my pantheon of parenting gods, right next to Paul Offit, Mo Willems, and Supernanny.  lol.

  • that's awesome!  I'll toast to that! Drinks
  • I've been reading the Ferber book.  A lot of what he says about sleep associations makes sense to me which has me all kinds of confused.  I don't mind getting up with LO.  In fact I kind of enjoy the extra snuggles.  But... his book makes me feel like what I'm doing is wrong and possibly causing LO to distrust me.  Gah.  And I don't like his method of solving the problem.

  • I felt the exact same way when we started and had our first no-cry night! Congratulations!
  • That's awesome! I agree, champagne is definitely in order!

    We used Ferber on DS when he was 8 months, and he has recently had a major regression. We are planning on trying it again this weekend.

    How long did it take the first night? I would like to prepare myself if possible. The first time we used Ferber, DS cried for over 90 minutes. I am dreading it....

    Congrats again on the happy sleep :) 

  • woohoo!!

    We started Ferber last night and she cried for 45 minutes but had no night wakeups. Hoping tonight goes just as good or better.
