Well a few days ago I decided it was time to start sleep training Andrew. It is just too exhausting getting up 3 times a night and make bottles. So the first night was a little rough. Andrew made it till 2:30am and then he fought for about and hour. I would go in every 5 minutes and rock him and lay him back down. Eventually he calmed down and just wanted me to stay there and hold his hand while he fell asleep. After that he slept until 8:30. Last night was the second night of sleep training and he did better. I only gave him his 1 bottle at 7:30. He woke up at 2:30am again and cried for a little bit. This time I let him have a little bit of water and that was enough to calm him down and he went right back to sleep. At around 6am he was up again so I decided I would give him a bottle because he had made it 11 hours without eating anything. I don't do any bottles in the crib anymore because I was reading some books and they said that giving him those bottles at night was inhibiting him from being able to sleep on his own. Andrew is still asleep this morning and it is 9:00! Nice that I got to sleep in and eat my breakfast and get ready for the day. Hopefully tonight he just sleeps through. It hasn't been that bad sleep training; I wish I would have done it a long time ago!
