I hate everything.

Its been about a week and a half since I started ignoring sweet Fodie's cries in the night and thus far, IT ISN'T WORKING.  Wahhhhhh.  I don't remember any other aspect of shaping his sleep schedule taking this long to catch on.  Ugh.  And hes gone from calling out at night, to full on crying, which breaks my heart.  I mean, I didn't even care that I had to get up once in the night, since it meant that he'd sleep in til like 9am.  Now, he wakes up in the night, cries for like a decade, and then wakes up for the morning at 6:30am, all sleepy still.  NOT A GOOD TRADE OFF.  I think I'm going to stop trying.  I just don't see the big benefit of forcing the matter right now.  He isn't happier... I'm not happier... and if he DOES start sleeping through the night in this manner, then we are both ultimately losing sleep because hes waking up so much earlier anyway.  Waaaaahhhhhh.  Waaaahhhhhh.  I wish I just knew what to do, like, all the time.  Its so hard.

    sleep is seriously so hard. You never know what to do and if your efforts and making it better or worse. I feel ya, honey. G didn't wake in the night, but he had a really hard time going down for bed, so we ending up doing cry it out after we'd exhausted everything else. It took him a solid 5 days of crying from 20-45 minutes to get it. But I went in every 10 minutes and loved on him-- I couldn't not!!!!

    Hannah, I was the same way with getting Fodie to fall asleep at night. We did a method where you stay in the room with him the whole time and love on him when he gets really worked up. But I can't do that at night, because loving on him isn't what he wants. He wants the boob, and he wants it immediately. Anyway, I'm back to getting up once a night and I feel fine about it. I guess I just had to blog about it because I'd already publicly announced my plan (so that I'd stick with it, sadly enough). Plus, it just helps to whine about it since there is no right answer. Anyway, thanks for all your support!
