We have achieved success for the third day of teaching Dallin to sleep. There has really been too much waking up at night for everyone's good. HE is now 9 months old, and I need some sleep! We have tried a few things but have decided to go cold turkey and let him cry it out. This seems harsh at first but after reading a book called "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child", it really seems kind. There is a difference between what a child wants and what they need. Sometimes this makes them cry, like when they want to run into the street, and you don't think they should. The book compared this to junk food. You don't let your child fill up on junk, because it is unhealthy. They also need to learn to sleep. Dallin has not been up to eat for 3 nights now. Things are looking up up up, and we hope to be on a regular schedule before school starts in 12 days. We could ALL use some uninterrupted sleep!
