Clearly you people did not cross your fingers because last night was TERRIBLE! After going down super easily at 730pm, Kayla woke back up at 1am and cried for roughly two hours. We soothed, we stroked, we patted, we prayed...and yet, it took a full two hours for her to finally fall back asleep. And then at 645am, she was back up and unhappy. We tried more soothing and cajoling, but she was not having any of it and so finally, at 720am, I got her up and we started our day.
This sleep training stuff is horrendous. It is miserable sitting there listening to her wail. All you want to do is just to go in and cuddle her up, but the experts swear we would be hindering rather than helping. She needs to relearn how to self-soothe now that she has quit sucking her thumb and the sooner she learns that skill, the better, both for her and for us. Breathe...
