Baby steps

No, not those kind! We are making baby steps at getting Joshua to actually sleep through the night.

He sleeps in his crib from his final nursing (8pm) until about midnight. Then we move him to the pack-n-play in the living room when he wakes up screaming. I usually give him 5 minutes of screaming in the nursery before we go get him. Once he is moved we don't say a word just pat his butt a few times & then walk away. He then gets to cry himself out. The first night it took an hour for him to get there. Then it gradually got less. Now it takes about 20 minutes. I also am refusing to feed him if he wakes up before 3:30am.

Last night he woke up at 1am wet; but, a dry diaper was all he needed to go back to sleep. He stayed that way until Daddy left for work at 5:15am. I was thrilled!!!

Now if we can just get him to take a morning nap.........
