Befo...Oh my goodness....the sleep issues!!!!!!!!!! Before you have a child of your own, you kinda just think babies eventually sleep through the night: WRONG!!! And then, nobody tells you there are about a million and seven different ways you can approach the issue...do you give the pacifier back every time it falls out, do you pick them up to soothe them every 5 minutes or increase it, and yadda yadda yadda. I am SOOO glad to hear somebody else is experiencing this. All I can say to you is good luck. It really sucks to listen to your baby cry, so I can totally empathize there. And just so you don't feel bad, it took us from months 6 through 10 to finally figure things out. And really, nothing worked until we just put him down in the crib awake in the evening and didn't go in until the morning. Cold turkey was the only thing that worked, all the other options just made it worse because he would expect some form of comfort every time he heard or saw us. Sorry to ramble, but I just wanted to say "good luck with that" and I can totally understand the struggle. But it will work eventually and you will be able to sleep through the night once again....and it will be awesome when you do!!! Hang in there!C.J. and Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07561179850007583456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615987428621133709.post-85015190274272296332008-04-19T21:26:00.000-07:002008-04-19T21:26:00.000-07:00I read the book and it made sense to me but didn&#...I read the book and it made sense to me but didn't work with Naomi but maybe the "No Cry Sleep Solution" would work for you guys. I've heard a bunch of people say they liked it. It is pretty similar to what you are trying but it will give you a little guidance in steps to take. I don't have the book anymore or I'd loan it to you. Unfortunately Naomi was the kind of kid only crying would work. The rest just made her more mad at us (and us at her which isn't a good combo). Thankfully God gave us a break and gave us Daphne who was easy to teach how to sleep!!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271197091954463522noreply@blogger.com
