Sleep Update

Well, Addy got her first "Rash" so I took her to the doctor. Just before I went to leave he asked me if I had any questions about her eating, sleeping, etc....so, I jumped on the wagon! I said," Umm, ya! This child doesn't sleep!". After a slight chuckle he asked to to go through our routine. When I got to the part that I put her in her crib asleep, he said "That's your problem". He told me to stop rocking her to sleep totally and to start putting her down drowsy...which is what I have read everywhere! Then I told him when she wakes up I hold her or feed her. Anther chuckle! (he's killin me smalls) He said I am to NEVER pick her up and I can only feed her in the night one time....which I usually do. He also said to not let her scream and cry but to lay her down and pat her and walk out of the room. Go back in after 5 minutes and relay her down and explain that it's bed time....so much harder than he made it sound!! So, I did this for 2 nights and last night Addy actually did much better! I layed her down and she didn't even fight me! She then slept clear until 3:20, I fed her a bottle, she was back in bad by 3:40! I was shocked! She slept until 7:20 and I had to actually wake her up! So, you are all too smart, I wished I woulda done this like 6 months ago! So, needless to say, I slept really good all night! It was heaven! Other than I DIDN"T want to get up!
