Happy Baby, and Happy Parents

soooo i threw in the towel with sleep training. three months is much too early for sydney, even though babywise and other moms have said otherwise. we are both MUCH happier.

bed time: 8:15 pm
nurse: 3-3:30 am

i put her back to bed after i nursed her, and she got up at 6:45 am!!! i was in bed (reading a book) by 9:15 pm, so i got lots of rest too.

WOW. i feel great! sydney is super happy. and kirk is happy...no crazy wife waking him up in the middle of the night. :p

thank y'all for your advice. obviously every baby is different and every mom is different, but it's nice to get different opinions and then judge for yourself what is right for your kid.

my kid, right now, is hiccuping on my lap. and she needs a diaper change. :)

i just want to say that i did exactly what you did with the whole sleeping thing. i agree with babywise in the sense that eat, play, and sleep is a great system. but it is a great system DURING THE DAY, and WHEN YOUR BABY IS READY. i just fed goldie when she needed to be fed during the night (when she was little) and everyone was much happier. you are so right. every baby is different and it's sort of gratifying to make the best decision for you baby because you know her best! nice work rach.
