You know, last week I posted about getting Nyla on a schedule and starting to let her cry it out when she wakes up in the middle of the night. The schedule we have got down! I mean, she's into our little schedule and it's working for everyone! Hooray! The crying it out at night? That's not going so well.
We let her cry it out on Friday night and she only cried for 17 minutes before falling back asleep. And then we reverted back to getting her in the middle of the night. Augh! After only one night, I was in our old habit and when she started to cry, I was like an automaton. I got up and got dressed and went to get her and console her.
I must remember (in my sleepy haze) that she's fine in her crib. We need to help her learn to fall asleep on her own. Wouldn't it be horrific if she was 5 and we still had to give her a bottle and rock her to sleep every night? Watch. Now that I've said that, that's what will happen.
