Well I can't say horrible for nights but naps definitely r. She's so cute n so happy when she's awake that I feel bad fighting w/her on sleep. And she's turning 11months. She's a march baby! But I have been feeding her more. I give her baby fOod n table food n still breastfeeding n some formula. So I think she's getting enough she just knows that I'll come to her. ( U knw how they say if ur not 100%consistent they'll cry longer n harder, well I think I should have used this as my motto. I think this is where things mess up). But I would love to hear updates.

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with the sleeping and napping. How old is she again? One of the things, not sure it applies to you, that I had an issue with was that I wasn't feeding her enough during the day. I find that if I ramp up the food available to her in the evenings ('cause she's a grazer), she'll tend to sleep more soundly. So if I know I've missed beefing up her meals, I'll take her to get tubbies with a carton of yogurt and feed her while she bathes and plays. Works well to make sure she has something in her tummy as she goes down to sleep. Naps are going good here. No set schedules, but I definitely see tell tale signs when she's sleepy. I'll make sure to post a full update next week. :) Hey Marlene!

Everything I talk about is cleaning and my daughters sleep. The first time in my about 4 years that I talk about something else n reason because I am moving. I want to do something different this year. I wanted to move in my own apartment, work out to be in shape, n eat better(healthier) things. I guess I stiLl have to work on that. Ooo by the way how's the sleep training for naps going? I haven't seen updates. So I was thinking things must be so good or things totally regressed? Hope things r better. My daughter is horrible sleeper. She wakes up at 1 or 2 to nurse, usually goes back down but sometimes wakes up for day at 4 or 5am. Ughhhh I'm so tired. N naps r horrible. She longer sleeps in her crib for naps. I don't know what to do? I need advice, help???? Should I let her cio before I leave? She's just more persistent. But I can't keep doing this. I start working in march. N she might start daycare in summer. I need her sleeping more healthier before then!! Ooo man I think I just vented on ur blog. So sorry. N sorry for talking about sleep once more. See I'm always stuck in this sleep chat w/everyone. Lol I know what u mean. Everything I talk about is cleaning and my daughters sleep.

My blog started when my little man was 2 and I was also on a quest to find my 'new normal'. It sure is different but as you say that's not necessarily a bad thing.

So its been a hard road. But I think its when ur a tough consistent parent that st-ing really sticks. Because its been the longest time since I started night training and she still gives me protest cries. Its horrible. That's y I am thinking it def has to do w/nap training only when I truly conquer that task will she sttn, stop the protest cries, n go down for more than 30mins for a nap. I hope I can tackle that hurdle. Gl to u. I know ur lo will restart easily. Once st-ed its so easy to do it over. Maybe one or two days of protesting hard core but then its over. Big hugs. Hope u had a happy new year. Yea I have had to start all over almost once a month since she turned 6months, she’s now 9 months. So its been a hard road.

Depending on your baby’s temperament, sleep training or cry it out may be a big or small thing. Some babies cry 10 minutes and sometimes cry it out doesn’t even work! Some people don’t want to sleep train at all. Others will use a no-cry sleep training method and be very successful while others just can’t get that to work no matter how committed they are.
