It worked!

I know some of you have done Ferber sleep training lately. I just had to share because I am so excited and well rested. We started the progessive waiting technique Thursday night. Night one she cried for 1 and 1/2 hours. Night two- 15 minutes! Night three- 5 minutes! She went down without crying last night. She was ready for it, and I am no longer having to bedshare with a baby on my boob all night. She is already down to just two wakings/feedings, from getting up every hour and nursing or comfort nursing hourly. I am proud of her and so happy to have my bed and sleep back too! I tried no cry solution but it made her wake up more and I found myself so sleep deprived I'd be angry at her, so I'm glad we tried Ferber. I will keep up with the no cry tips though so hopefully that Ferber retraining that is sometimes needed, can maybe be avoided for us. Thanks for reading, I just had to share my excitement/success with someone- my LO now gets a proper night sleep and I am so happy for her, and myself too =)

Re: It worked!

  • Yay!  I'm glad it worked for you.  Now you just have to re-learn how to sleep through the night, too.  I finally slept from 11p-6a last night and it was AMAZING!
