.sleep.

7

is the number of hours wyatt has slept through the night for the past few nights :)

and it's all because of these books:

HEALTHY SLEEP HABITS, HAPPY CHILD

and

BABYWISE

now my mom would call me a "nazi mom" because of my insanely rigid schedule we've gotten wyatt on. but, for my sanity, and cameron's it is finally paying off. mostly we've had to be this scheduled due to the fact that i'm going to be working nights and cam will need some predictable night routine while i'm gone. the first 6 weeks were kinda rough since we've been "teaching" wyatt to fall asleep on his own in his own crib, and there were times we'd have to go into his room 10 times just to get him to take a 1 hour nap. but for the past few days he has been falling asleep on his own in his own room. now, there were many times i wanted to give up and just let him sleep in his swing or in my arms, but we stuck with it and it's working! so i'm posting this for all you moms out there that are struggling with sleep problems. these books are AMAZING. i think every kid is different and every kid needs different things to fall asleep, but if you're at the end of your rope, get these and tweak them to your kiddo. i promise it works! we used the babywise EASY schedule for the structure for feedings, waketime, and sleep..and used the healthy sleep habits, happy child book for soothing techniques and looking for sleep cues :) love it.
