My d...Colleen, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END! My daughter slept wonderfully until she was 5 months old. Then she just... quit. For another six and a half months. Two weeks before I went back to work I had had enough and suffered through 4 nights of "sleep training" (which in our house meant steadfastly refusing to nurse her every 45 minutes through the night). Four nights was all it took. There have been setbacks, of course. Teething, lousy naps, stuffy nose... but they never last more than a few days.<br /><br />Lately, she's been really fighting her naps. I'm afraid she's going to be one of those toddlers that gives up the daytime nap before age 2. So help me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726185813067900684.post-61361949477948720852011-09-28T06:53:30.150-02:302011-09-28T06:53:30.150-02:30i laughed at this.

And it took Darin literally sitting on me so I would not go into her room and pick her up as she cried for hours. Night two, cried for an hour. Night three, a sleeper! Hard, but worth it. And hey, it did not kill her (nearly killed me, but that's all part of it). She is happy, healthy and off at university with no residual effects that I am aware of! Hang in there, it does get better.Christa Steeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859725687282607186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726185813067900684.post-19313040732982225222011-09-27T15:01:17.645-02:302011-09-27T15:01:17.645-02:30Oh my.

Both of mine were 10 months old before they slept through the night. Good luck with changing the habit - it's going to be harder for you than him, I'm afraid! And Colleen, I'll bring you a Pumpkin Spice Latte to keep you awake at the next class, just in case! :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457072972590220335noreply@blogger.com
