Ferberization: Report 2

Today is day 2 of Ferberization and I am happy to report that things have improved ever so slighty. Last night Taylor went to bed at 8:00 as usual and only cried for 20 minutes (as opposed to 40) and didn't wake again until 3:30 in the morning, putting self back to sleep after 25 minutes. She then made it until 5:45. We left her until 6:20 and then fed her (this time Daddy's heart was breaking...it is so very sad to see you little baby screaming). She took 4 oz. (again, an improvement)

Then, at 8:30 she took a bottle (another 4 oz) and went straight to sleep, no pacifier, no swaddle and NO CRYING. That's huge....been out 2 hours now so I have to look into waking her........YIKES!

Way to stay strong. I'm proud of you. It is NOT easy to let your children cry it out. I hope this method works for you....then we can mom swap for Matthew!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
WAY TO GO! You're FINALLY in control.
