Trying again...

A month ago Greyson was sleeping through the night. It was great. I may even have mentioned that I missed the 3am snuggles. I should not have said that. After Greyson cold and his molars trying to come in he stopped sleeping through the night.

Lately he's been a horrible sleeper - HORRIBLE.

We've been trying a gentle and gradual approach to night weening and it is just not working. In fact, things have gotten worse this past week. Gentle isn't working! So I think we are going to try some crying it out again. It sucks, I hate it, but we all need more sleep. He was sleeping 8 to 10 hours in a row and now we are lucky to get 3 hours. We need to get back to where we were pre-sickness!

UPDATE: Well he slept for a few hours then woke up screaming. He screamed for a long time, but finally went back to sleep. I hated hearing him cry, but it's time for tough love.

Good for you! I know it's the hardest thing ever to just them cry, isn't it!? We still struggle with it as well when schedules get out of whack from sickness or travel or whatever, but it is so nice to get back into the routine for ALL of you!

I know you'll get him back on track soon and you'll all be happy sleepers again!

Just about that time, you'll be ready to start thinking about another baby, right?!

Good luck! Hope tonight is a better night.
