After a week of getting Ms. J to skip her middle of the night feed, we started to let her Cry it Out this week. The first night wasn't to bad- I'm not even sure she cried. We often hear these "phantom" cries in the middle of the night, and I think that's what I heard.
However, last night, she was letting loose. So much so, that she is horse this morning. Talk about breaking a parent's heart. But at least we know that the girl has perseverance!
We have to adjust the dream feed a bit now (dream feed means a feeding that is given basically while the baby is still sleeping- we give it to her any where from 10pm-12am). We've been trying different times, seeing which one will work the best. Nothing has shone through as great quite yet, but we'll keep adjusting until we find it! We also have perseverance!
** Added note- By the 3rd night, J as sleeping through the night! She slept from 8pm-7am! on her 4th night it was 7pm-5:30am. She just made us very happy parents!
