Sleep Training

sldlHad I written this post on Monday it would be nothing but puppies and rainbows about how sleep training is fabulous. Unfortunately its Wednesday!


We started sleep training Sammy Friday night and it went smoothly. Her crying lasted about 20 minutes on Friday (total) with me checking on her at 3/5/10 intervals. She was asleep just before the second 10 min check. Saturday was thrown off a little by my MIL, we went to dinner and she let Sammy fall asleep on her shoulder. Therefore when she finally went down around 10:30/11:00pm it was maybe 10 minutes of crying. Sunday she was out before she hit the crib and slept all night.


I went in Monday feeling fabulous. We went to dinner because it was our 2 year wedding anniversary so things were a little off but back to 10-15 minutes of crying before falling asleep and then she was up playing in her crib at 4am. I left her there until 5:15 when it was an hour before her normal waking time. She didn't sleep much according to the sitter so last night we went straight into her routine, everything to the T. This, sad to say, resulted in 40 minutes of screaming before she passed out and slept until 6:10 this morning.


That was horrible. Not only was she sitting up in her crib crying...but I was power pumping so Steve was the one soothing her and all I could do was listen in. It eventually led to a fight between Steve and I because I was overly emotional and irrational (partially because he was being an ass too) and today I just feel....shitty.


I'm not willing to give up yet and I need to talk to her daycare and make sure they are following her schedule. I have a feeling she tends to leave Sammy in the crib to play just by certain comments she's made, so I want to make sure that's not the case. I swear though, on the weekends I've got this great baby and during the week, not so much. I'll be working my hardest to figure out why my weekend baby leave me every Monday morning.

She's lucky she's cute!!!
