Sleeping Schedule Update



We have been doing the cry method with Sophia now for almost two weeks. She still cries when I first lay her down because she sees that I'm going to leave her, however, she now knows how to soothe herself and does so by rolling onto her side and snuggling with her blanket. She usually sleeps for about 5 hours, then wakes up to be fed, then goes back to sleep in her bassinet. She is adjusting nicely to the schedule and reading her 'sleepy signs' is a lot easier for me than it used to be. This schedule is heavenly, because Jeff and I now have some time in the evening for ourselves and Sophia is now getting the right amount of sleep and seems to be more content and happy through out the day. I'm so glad we chose to start at this age and not wait until she was older, despite her pediatrician's advice. I think every child is different. Sophia now sleeps better and so do we. Thanks to "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child".
