Congrats!!  I know how hard it is to try, and try, and try, only to find that nothing works.  It's very difficult, and very hard on the very best of marriages!  We too just spent MONTHS trying to get our once perfect sleeper to sleep through again, we are finally going on 3 weeks of perfect sleep.  However I still REFUSE to say we've conqured all, I'm so afraid that I will jinx us!   ;)   Keep doing what you're doing, but don't worry if you have a minor set back, it's normal, but much easier to get back on track.  Go with your gut, and really listen to what your LO is trying to tell you he needs... I really feel that is what saved us, I had to step back a little, kind of let go, and do what Ethan needed, and not so much 'textbook'... does that make since?  Anyway, Good Luck!  Hugs to you and your family!   :)

I think that is very true, sometimes we get so caught up in what should be happening rather than look at what is needed by the child to make things happen better.
