The last few nights she has just let out a few shouts of protest and then fallen right asleep:)MamaMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448124904034102917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243796588107986245.post-12082401980712659272009-05-17T21:51:00.000-07:002009-05-17T21:51:00.000-07:00It seems like with any transition with Jack we tak...It seems like with any transition with Jack we take two steps forward, two steps back. So maybe he would start falling asleep (without crying!) on his own for three nights straight, but then going back to crying for two nights. Resist the temptation to do what is most convenient and go for what's best for her (and you) in the long run. Be strong, Megs! Give it chance - she'll get there, and you guys will, too!<br /><br />P.S. That said, I snuggled Jack to sleep on the couch tonight because I couldn't resist his sweetness!Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922554132260247217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243796588107986245.post-85161315742032681422009-05-16T07:18:00.000-07:002009-05-16T07:18:00.000-07:00I have a tip for future children :).

This gives you special moments with her while also allowing the other 50% for her to practice falling asleep on her own. :) As far as the cry it out method, if you are very good about being consistent with it, it is supposed to take only 3 days to break a sleep pattern. Good luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935331997969884788noreply@blogger.com
