Staying strong. Please share some tips, tricks, or success stories to get this mama through the first night.

Love all my November mamas and babies! ❤

UPDATE: Last night went so much better than we expected. He cried for a total of 25 minutes. He started to calm seconds before we were due to go in for our 10 minute check. He slept all the way until 5:12am. I fed him and he went right back to sleep in his crib until 7am. I was absolutley blown away. Before last night we had been co sleeping. He was waking during the night constantly. Even wanting a bottle when I knew he didnt truly need it. I am feeling so positive right now.

We have also stayed with it for naps since the book says to work on naps simoataniously. The first nap he went down and played for 15 minutes and fell right to sleep. He slept for 2 hours! I am use to only 30 minute naps unless he is in my arms. I got so much done! The second one he cried for 14 minutes and then fell asleep. Still, we are off to a great start and he wakes sooo happy. I know he isnt mad at me. Maybe he truly needed this better sleep. So far this has gone so much better than I was anticipating.

I read the whole book before I started this. I really was at the end of my rope. If you are considering sleep training and if it is for you and your family. I say, go ahead and pull the trigger. My family and I are on cloud nine today.

Fingers crossed for tonight!
