Well Last time we sleep trained I just cold turkey didn't feed her until after 12am but the second night she went to 2am on her own and eventually went to 4/5am on her own but that's as far as we got before she got really sick. Soooo I think I am going to do similar. I don't know. To be honest I haven't put much thought into it this time... Just going to wing it!

Aw thanks for asking ladybug . Friday night was great. He got up around 10:44, DH went in amd picked him up, rubbed his back and tokd him it was time to sleep. He put him back down and we started timing 10 minutes for out next check in. Within 3 minutes he fell asleep on his own and slept until 630!! I was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Last night was a little more rough but really not at all as bad as I was expecting. He woke up crying around 11. DH went in and rubbed his back. He kept crying and started the "cry so hard I'm gonna puke" cry. DH went back in to try and soothe him. He calmed down a bit so he put him back in his crib. He cried for another 3-4 minutes and then just fell asleep, it was 11:23. It was full blown crying then silent. So weird. I made DH turn up the monitor to make sure he was still alive and sure enough he was snoring. He didnt wake up again until 6.

It went so much better than expected. I really thought he was going to cry for hours and wake up multiple times a night. I'm really amazed at how well he did. Hearing him cry for 23 minutes was torture but it help knowing DH was going in to do checks.

My boobs are really full and I've had to pump a few times for relief. He didn't nurse as much as he usually does yesterday. I thought he would nurse more during the day but he's actually nursing less.

It feels like such a relief for me and like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It's so nice knowing that when I nurse him at bedtime he doesnt need me again until the morning. Now I can start making plans and having my mom babysit more. And I can have a glass of wine and not worry that he will wake up and need to nurse. I feel so much better.
