I remember how hard it was at first but how fast it started working. My bro had a lot of ear infections when he was a baby, so we went through a few rounds of the sleep training, but as a now funny & active 13 year old, my small sample size proves he was not “damaged for life.” Glad to hear you’re feeling better and glad to see you’re blogging again.

I did the same thing to the girl who walked me through it!

I probably sound like a broken record but Everett’s progress gives me hope when I feel like I am losing my mind. And I am sorry I bombarded your inbox that day but your support was incredibly helpful.

I am happy I did too. At the time I swear every article on the Yahoo homepage was about how people who let their baby cry longer than 2 minutes were damaging them for life. I was a mess. But in the end, he really needed it. The poor thing was so unhappy from such little rest and now he is so happy. He laughs and smiles all the time—which is the opposite of what the so-called experts said would happen.

Everett has even gotten to the point of picking up his own pacifier if it falls out and putting it back in. I never thought this day would come. I can put him down in his crib even not drowsy and he just knows it’s sleep time. You’ll get there too…it gets easier and easier.

And it looks like it’s your turn to help out @rhodeygirl!

Happy for you.

I am losing my mind here and getting sick too. R is now unswaddled and having a lot of trouble staying asleep when I put him down. The second I pick him up he falls right back to sleep. My eye is twitching, I have a sore throat and fever and I’m no longer a nice person! Please send me your guidelines and tips! He Can sleep all night if next to me in bed, but nothing at all like that in his crib. Last night it took me 2 hours to put him down and I had to do it ever so slowly and carefully. When he wakes up in the night I nurse him and then he never goes back to his crib bc he wakes up immediately and doesn’t know how to fall back asleep. He is becoming way overtired and we are all suffering. Please send me some tips!

A hard thing as a Mama because you get so many contrasting messages, but in the end you know when you baby actually NEEDS it and when you do too.

You did the right thing for him. And you are right everyone is different, but in your case I’m really glad you helped him learn such a valuable, healthy skill!
