Survived night one of Ferber

[jeaniebueller]

We put her in her crib with no swaddle and no paci either. I left a chew toy and a small stuffed animal in the crib in case she wanted something to put her hands on. She went down about 7:35 ( 30 minutes later than usual). She cried for about an hour before she fell asleep. Slept for about 30 minutes, woke up and cried out a few times than slept until 12:15. She cried for about 45 minutes (at this point I just did 10 minute checks, I saw no point in going in at 3 and 5 minutes.), than fell asleep. She woke up around 3:30, cried out a few times than slept until 5:45--and I got her up for the day. We are going to stick with it for naps too for the sake of consistency but it went better than I thought. I sort of expect tonight to be tougher because she will know what to expect and what is going to happen but we'll see. She definitely woke up less than she was when she had her pacifier so that is amazing.

Hope it just gets better and better.

That's good! Hopefully it only improves!

Hopes it gets better.

For us the crying on the second night was louder and it started the second we tried to put her in the crib but the actual time crying was quite shorter than the first night.

So I put her down for her nap, she cried under 2 minutes and was out. I can handle that. She is so cute and happy today. I told my H, at least she isn't mad at us, eh?

Night 1 was the worst for us, I hope it is the same for you!

Just keep going! We started on 1/9 and two weeks later it's like he's a completely different child. Hope you have the same success!
