Well....it helped in the sense that we no longer need the pacifier for her to fall and stay asleep for a bit longer stretches, but she is getting no better at sleeping through the night, or should I say putting herself back to sleep int he middle of the night. Naps are great and for that I'm thankful. However, we still have one middle of the night one hour to two hour long screaming stretch and today is day 7. So, we are going to modify our approach and see how things go. Perhaps I just need to succumb to the fact that my child is not a sleeper.
At any rate, this is it for my sleep reports. I'm going to do my best to focus on all the other amazing things my girls are doing, and function as best I can on little sleep.
BTW. We also have postponed solids for another month. We'll give it a try in month 5 or 6, but right now it just didn't seem to settle well with her and with all her other tummy problems the last thing we need is to give her another pain to try and work through.
If there is one thing I've learned in these last 4+ months, it is that children TRULY are unique individuals. Taylor reminds me of that everyday. I feel like I'm a first time mom all over again.

You know I hold your frustrations. Let's not think this didn't work for Taylor. Let's think that this attempt wasn't successful. Maybe you'll revist this method when she is older. I'm glad you've stayed positive through your trials. It's not easy, especially when it doesn't work. I'm proud of you for trying as long as you did.
Hey hang in there and don't be so hard on yourself. Each child is so very different, you know that and I know that as we have 4 and they are all very different. We have to listen to our kids, they will tell us when they need us and how. Just be patient. And thank God for Ana that she is a wonderful sleeper. We will have plenty of time to sleep at some other point in our life. Hang in there look at the bigger picture, you have 2 beautiful girls who are very healthy and happy. Hang in there momma. If you are up in the middle of the night give me a call to cry with b/c chances are I am up too! I love ya and I understand what you are going through.
I hear everything you are saying and remember it like it was yesterday with Jackson. That experience will never leave me. We tried that method a few times (with time in between)with him and he finally did respond. Alana has turned out to be more like your Ana and having two so different makes me appreciate each of them that much more. It's tough but you'll make it through.
