I feel that I am not jinxing myself because this been happening for about 2 weeks now. I thought about posting about it before but again, last time I wrote about sleep, well it jinxed me.
Max has been going to sleep at 8:30 pm every night. We start bath at 7:45 pm and then we do a massage for a few minutes, read some books and rock in the rocking chair and then finish his bottle and then go to sleep. It is so nice. I am loving it and I also see that Max is so much better rested. So yes, to the point, Max is waking up between 5 am and 5:45 am and then I go in and sleep in his bed till 6:30/7 am. I am confident that Max will learn how to sleep by the next baby. I am feeling so much better now that I am sleeping too. Horray!!
I also want to say that is feels great that we chose to do the sleep thing in a way that worked for us. Max has not been back in our bed since I started the transition to his room. I think it would be too confusing for him. It has been about a 2 month process and I am so happy for Max and well I am happy for me too. I did a very loving method with Max and his sleep issues. Keep in mind that I am not saying that other methods are not loving but this is what felt like love for us.
I am not sure if I will do anything different with the next one. I think it will be pretty much the same and I am sure it will all work out. What did you do with your child?
