That's just stupid.:lolsign:
Yea, that's what I've been told by a lot of people. I've been very consistant with him in EVERYTHING since birth. Probably why he's always been such an easy baby to care for.
No matter how jazzed and hyper he is at night, the moment he's out of the bath and into nighttime jammies he's calm and he starts to yawn. He knows it's bedtime. The ONLY thing I've done that perhaps I shouldn't have is rock him to sleep since birth. I've never taught him to sleep on his own.
I've been teaching him how to do so since last week, it's been hard but he's slowly understanding it. I don't Ferberize however... I'm against it with every fiber of my being.
WOW @ all my typos! Have to fix those.
you mean the letting him scream it out?
oh we did that. worked like a charm lol
first night, lots of screaming, 2nd night less screaming, by the end of the week sleeeeeeping like a baby ;)
Thanks kazm I don't need any been giving them away lol

I can't do it. I'll cry with him and that won't do any good.
There's a method called "Pick up put down".
He cries, you pick him up and sooth him in a non-pitying way and the moment he's stopped, put him down again. The first night I must have done it 50x... yes - my arm muscles still hurt LOL. Last night I only had to go back in once and rubbed his back, no need to pick him up and he fell asleep 2 min later. Nap time is different... It's not dark out. I figure once he's got the bedtime down pact, I can start working on naps.
It's a lot more work than crying it out but I just don't have the heart to do it.
