Ferber Method

We decided to start sleep training last night when babe was 7 months 1 day and it has gone fantastical! We wanted to do it sooner but he has been fighting a constant ear infection for two months making sleep awful. During that time frame, we created bad sleeping habits that needed to be broken. Our ear infections have finally cleared giving us the opportunity to work on sleep. Last night was our first night using the Ferber method and he cried for almost an hour. Tonight, however, I didn’t even make it to the third check in. He started settling hisself and was asleep within 20 minutes of being laid down! Before this he had to be rocked to sleep, woke after 30 minutes, and we had gotten in the habit of bed sharing so this major improvement! Also, last night after going to sleep he slept for 11 hours straight!! I have attached a picture of the times that I am using for my check ins if anyone else is interested.
