"pantley's gentle removal plan" (pg 126) helped us. and moving the nursing time before storytime helped b/c he's falling asleep in bed instead of in my arms. sometimes it takes longer to fall asleep b/c he plays in bed, but whatever! that's better than crying. also, daddy does the bedtime routine and storytime. i just do the nursing. i think it helps to have daddy do part of that for many reasons (bonding, give me a break, he associates dad with bedtime, too - not just mama's milk). hope colin gets better about sleeping soon! we've had a lot of those bad-to-worse moments lately, so i'm hoping this isn't a fake-out!Daisy @ Our Growing Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936068496090254149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-47557432890803811722009-02-16T13:53:00.000-05:002009-02-16T13:53:00.000-05:00I am so jealous. Things have gone from bad to wors...I am so jealous. Things have gone from bad to worse here. I tried to move from stage 1 to stage 2 and now Colin won't go into the crib AT ALL. He totally looses his mind when I try to lay him down. I have to wait 30-40 mins until he is totally asleep before moving him into the crib. I'm on a sleep training break this week in an attempt to get back to stage 1. At 4 am I finally just put him in the stroller where he slept for 2 hrs. Even his naps are affected by the crib revolt! Is Aiden like Colin in that he doesn't want anything to do with his Dad in the middle of the night? If my husband tries to go in to help me out Colin gets even madder!
