That's how long it took my daughter to fall asleep in her crib on her own tonight! I am in complete shock. Who knows that the rest of the night holds but that is progress!

I used to rock her for literally an hour for her to sleep for 30 minutes at night. And finally I couldn't take it anymore and she ended up in bed with my husband and I. Then even that wasn't working.

I was ALWAYS against sleep training. I didn't understand how someone could just leave there baby there to cry all alone.

Finally I gave in because I was exhausted and I told myself if I can't handle it then I'll figure something else out.

Night one was so hard she cried for 30 minutes. I also cries for 30 minutes.

Night two she cried on and off for 18 minutes. I did much better. Mainly because it was crazy crying just a few loud ones here and there.

Tonight night three she whined for 2 minutes wasn't even really crying and just went to bed.

Honestly so far this is definitely what my family needed. It's still not easy when she wakes in the night crying for me and I just lay in bed but I know she needs these tools for self soothing.

I have a whole new perspective on sleep training. It has been a life saver.
