So I have a few final questions before I throw in the towel completely...
First, what am I SUPPOSED to do when LO is up in the middle of the night COMPLETELY awake? After the crying spell, when I finally go in...he stands in crib, sits up, plays, laughs, gurgles etc
Do I keep doing PU/PD? (Very difficult at this point as the crib is so low!)
Do I leave the room and wait for more crying?
Last night, I just laid down on the floor, and he continued to play for several minutes each time before crying again! I could not find anything in the book that addressed this specific problem.
Finally, since his early wakings began, they have been somewhere between 5 and 5:30. Should I aim for 6 as a full night sleep (11 hours), or do I go for the full 12-I still plan to limit daytime sleep at this point to 2.5 hours.
