Why, oh why...

Did I ruin my DD1 into being a bad sleeper?!

This time around we have totally changed our tactics and DD2 has been having one 7 hour stretch and then two 3 hour stretches on either side of that.  With DD1 We would hear her on the monitor or be in the room with her and if we heard her stirring at all we would pick her up and hold her for a few minutes to try and avoid her waking up too much. Sigh. So stupid.

    Did you read Bringing Up Bebe?  This is what they talk about, not picking up LO right away when they stir so they learn to put themselves back to sleep.  :)

    I didn't read this but I do wait a minute or so when LO is stiring in bed.  Sometimes he will just fall back asleep or all he needs is his paci put back in his mouth which can be done without picking him up.

    Heck No I don't generally read books on sleeping or parenting habits in general. That one we learned the hard way. It was the only thing going from 1 to 2 that we looked back on and realized we needed to do different.  DD2 is an amazing sleeper and I am so thankful. DD1 we are working on :)
