Miracles Happen!

I’ve posted on here and other communities so many times about my child’s horrible sleep habits. I haven’t gotten more than a consecutive 3 hours of sleep at night since he was born, and that was rare. I hated night time. I absolutely didn’t want to sleep train. We were cosleeping in an attempt to get sleep but no one was getting sleep.

Well I finally reached my limit. I just stared a doctoral program and I knew that if I didn’t sleep I may as well go ahead and drop out. So three nights ago I did our normal bedtime routine and put him in his crib. I stay with him until he falls asleep. As usual, he woke up an hour and a half later. I let him cry for five minutes, went in, didn’t pick him up, and left. Right as I was going in for the ten minute check, he PUT HIMSELF RIGHT TO SLEEP AND SLEPT UNTIL 4 AM!! I was shocked.

Two nights ago he woke up after three hours, cried for ten minutes, and slept until 7 😳. And last night he again woke up after three hours but was back down and asleep before I made it up the stairs and slept until 6!!

I hope we can continue this trend because I feel like a new person. I’m no longer a woman on the edge!

I just had to share because I’m so happy.
