11 months

Alexander is 11 months old and still will not sleep through the night. I think we are going to start to furberize him. Andrew and I are just at our wits end anymore with the sleepless nights. Tonight is night one. I feel really guilty about this, but I know we need to do something about it.

Anyway thanks for letting me share my random thoughts about this with you.

  • You can do it! I've heard good things about it. I have heard the first night is tough so hang in there and nights 2 & 3 are better. Keep us posted!

  • Good luck Dana! We tried it at 4 months, but it was a fail. At 7 months, he cried 2 hours the first night, 1 hour the next night, and then STTN on the third night. As long as he naps enough during the day, we get 10-12 hours outta him! You'll wish you did it sooner ;)

    You have to hang in there and trust that it will work after a few days, and remind yourself that you're teaching him how to sleep, which is an invaluable lesson. Have some wine, too! Watch a movie w/ YH and try not to listen to him cry. He'll be OK.

  • Good luck Dana! Like Rebecca said, just remember you aren't doing anything that is hurting him! It maybe hard for you to hear him cry, but he will get the hang of it!
  • Goodluck! It will be hard but like the girls said, just know that you are not hurting him. Also, try to do something so you are not going crazy the whole time he is crying. You will be so happy you did this.
    I heart Ben!!
