That's when we did Adalyn. I'm hoping Burke will just ease into a 12 hour sleep. Ha! maybe after some wine.

If you put them on high, it helps block out a ton of noise. Charlotte has yet to wake up. Even for loud movies and she is right down the hall.<BR/>Also, you could try just one night, maybe on a weekend when Josh is home to help, letting him cry it out. Just to see if he would even wake her up. Frances has gone back to waking up at 4 am. I thought about letting her cry it out since I know she can make it longer without eating, but then I feel guilty. What if she is in a growth spurt? So who am I to give advise? I go running to!Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016770291228866721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485792858489638698.post-74366188947828909682008-02-17T14:17:00.000-06:002008-02-17T14:17:00.000-06:00I remember the whole sleep issues..Neither of mine...I remember the whole sleep issues..Neither of mine slept until they were 10-12 months old when I weaned them , that and I let them cry a little around that age b/c I finally got major desperate...but remember "This too shall pass"..There is light at the end of the tunnel. My major advice for not waking Meredith up and I did this with Thomas is a sound machine, and crank it up high enough where she won't hear him when he cries. Worked like a charm for us. You can get them at Walmart in the phamacy/diabetes section for like 15ish dollars, we set ours on the "water" one so it sounds like a creek or something. I had to do this with Thomas when he was little b/c our neighbor had two very loud dogs that loved to bark right by his window. I agree though that none of those sleep books work, I have read them all, read all the articles, asked all the people, and basically it will happen when it happens and just keep up the good work! Hang in there! Just a phase.

Mari...I am so sorry that you aren't sleeping well. Marion was and still is not a good sleeper and the cry it out method never worked for her. I don't think you should feel bad about not letting Noah cry in the night b/c everything I have read about that method says that babies are not really capable of self soothing until the age of six months, so don't feel guilty no matter what anyone says. I can also identify with the not wanting to wake sleeping toddler problem. I have DAvid sleeping in a little bed right on the side of our bed and sometimes (not always) I am able intercept the wake up-when I hear him start to squirm or whine if it is not time to eat I can pop in a paci, or shh him to sleep. This sometimes works,I know it doesn't teach him anything, but I don't think you can teach a 3 month old how to sleep soundly anyway. Hang in there girl. I was so tired today my teeth hurt:)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113467002737315500noreply@blogger.com
