So, if any of you moms or dads out there need to get your child to sleep, you can hire me! I should seriously market myself! It went great. I do have to admit though, that its gonna take more than 3 nights to get it consistent.
Night one, as I posted before, Lily woke up a couple times and I only gave her water once and she fussed herself back to sleep.
Night two, she slept through.
Night three, she woke up a few times and I just let her go and she was able to fuss herself back to sleep.
Last night, night four, she woke up around 1 am screaming an awful scream. This wasn't her usual cry, it was her I'm VERY hungry cry. She didn't eat well yesterday so I did give her milk, just about 4 oz. I didn't even use the Ferber method because I knew it wasn't a normal, fussy, sleepy cry.
So, moving to one nap a day has definitely worked. I need to make sure she has a full belly and keep up with our new bed time routine; bath, Elmo video, then bed. Working like a charm so far.
Now if I could only get Rob's ass in gear to finish her room so we can have ours back!
