SleepTraining & Eating My Words Update#2

After such a huge response from my therapy group Facebook friends, the most consistent message was to get consistent. I remembered that even though we weren't hard core sleep trainers with Jacob he had a routine.

2 Step Restoration Sanity Plan:

Get Max on a bedtime routine: I have been just winging it depending on where the night takes us. Poor Max doesn't know bed time from nap time. This has to end. After dinner we will do a family activity, bath, lotion,music or book,nurse and then bed awake to fall asleep. Goodbye to dinner parties for now:(

Middle of The Night: Before 130, Chris will be in charge of calming Max back to sleep and only taking him out if he has a dirty diaper. After 200, I will nurse him and probably keep him in bed the rest of the night for the next three months.
