Saturday, 12 July Sorry to hear that the sleep training isn't going well. I guess it doesn't work for everyone. Hopefully you will be able to find something that works. Here's hoping tonight is a good night for you! hawaiimommy -

Wednesday, 2 July The middle of the night is getting better. The first night he woke up at 2, and 6 (cried for 10 mins each time, but went back down on his own. The second night (hardest night so far) he woke up at 1:30, 4, and 6 (but again, didn't cry for more then 10-15 mins each time, and went back down). And last night he stirred at midnight and 5, but only cried for maybe 1 min the first time, then 5 mins the second time. So it is getting better!
I have never picked him up from his crib during the night (or during naps) when he is crying, just so I don't confuse him. That said, he doesn't have any issues with reflux, and I know he doesn't need a feed, so I don't feel too bad leaving him to cry. I always check on him though after he is back to sleep to make sure he is still on his back.
I know what you mean about starting new. Isaac was pretty much sleeping in his bouncy chair, going to bed at 9:30-10:30, and I was feeding him at 4 or so just to get him back to sleep. The night before I ordered the book, I had tried rocking him to sleep for a hour before he went down. Letting him cry for a few minutes is so much easier on everyone! It is so much nicer to get him to bed at 8, and not only have my evening back, but know that I won't be up too much at night either.
Starting after the holidays is a good idea. I have made a good effort to make sure that this week, I am home for two of his three naps, and that we don't go out so he can go down at 8, in order to get him used to the routine. My only advice would be to be strong! If you are going to try it, don't half try it. If you pick him up sometimes, then he will cry longer knowing you will come. I love when he puts himself back down, makes me so proud, and is so worth it, to have a rested happy baby! Sorry this was so long! mummykris -
Wednesday, 2 July It is going so well, I can't believe it! So he cried for 40 mins the first night, and 10 mins the second night, and last night, I don't think he even made it to 5 mins. He also goes down for naps usually in about 5 mins. I leave, go put on laudry, or something, and when I come back to check he is out. I can't believe how well he is doing. Other then the first night, which was very hard on my heart to hear him cry, I think he has figured it out. I always find him cuddling his duck, and sucking on his hand or thumb. So cute
How are things going with you? Hopefully well! mtnwoman -
Friday, 27 June You got me thinking about supply and having the shot so I looked it up. Here is a good link with all sorts of info for the shot>

Friday, 27 June You know, I never put two and two together and I dont' know that my doc said it could affect it, but I'm pretty much stopped BFing now because my supply is very low. I have given up struggleing and trying so hard and just pump once a day and I know that will eventually die out to nothing too. I still feed Ri at night and in the morning but other than that I just dont produce. So it could be the shot, but I also know other people who are pumping mainly and their supply seems to drop as well. In any case, I'm not stressing about it anymore. That doesn't do me or anyone else any good! dannie -
Sunday, 22 June Ryland has been sleeping really well at night without the swaddle. I have not yet tried putting him to bed unwrapped because I am scared he will wake right up. For now, and for a few more weeks, I think I will stick to swaddling him to sleep and then unwrapping him once he has fallen into his deep sleep. How's it going for you? dannie -
Friday, 20 June Hi Lynna- I read your comment about trying the no swaddle thing last night and I also attempted it with Ryland. However, the way I did it, and it seemed to work, was I rocked him to sleep while swaddled and then after I knew he was well asleep, a couple hrs later, I carefully unwrapped him. There is no way I can put him down right away unwrapped because he kicks, flairs his arms and wiggles his body. He slept really well and actually slept longer. I have been noticing that when Ryland is asleep at night, swaddled, he often wakes himself up out of frustration trying to get out of the swaddle. I thought by allowing him to be free to move and shift it would elliminate that struggle and last night it did! 1st-time-mama08 -
Friday, 20 June Wow I bet ur relieved lol!!! I still can't get myslef to take one too scared lol!! I thing i'm gonna buy one tonight when i go to Walmart!! aamn105 -
Friday, 20 June Heck I would think it would make her even more uncomfortable to have her stepmom whip out her boob infront of her and she would probaly leave the room or if you give her warnig you are fixing to feed. Its your house do it where you want to its a pain to have to do stuff just because of other people. Just a thought sorry for your situation. izziebo -
