OH MY, IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: August 30, 2005, 15:16:14 pm »
Hi everyone!! :D

Well, I have good news for today at least! 

This is what happened this morning.

First nap was at 750-820am.  Woke up tired and sleepy...but smiley.

Low key activity until 9am then upstairs again.

9-920am wind down
920-930 breastfeed left side BUT NOT TO SLEEP
930-940 pu/pd in crib to sleep.......I stayed in room reading Tracey's book-LOL.........and went and put my hands on him at 10:05am....kept them there through his jolt at 10:15 and until back to sleep 10:30am...

NOW it is 11:15am and HE IS STILL SLEEPING!!! :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

I can't believe that it actually worked!!!!!  I am okay with feeding him a bit before napping...as long as he is not sleeping...and it is about 10 minutes to get him to sleep...I guess this would count as EAEAS, right??

I am going to keep this up from now on and hope to see some permanent changes!!  I'm soo excited!!!!

I hope this is not just a fluke...and I know things will take some work still...but I am pretty darn happy at the change from yesterday!

Take care and I will keep everyone posted!!

ML :)

I too had a breakthrough day today.  Went down for two naps in just 5 minutes.  Not even a pat shush, just my reassuring words.

also went in for 45 min. jolt, and i'll go in soon for the 1:30 jolt.  want him to make it to two hours, he's been up since 6 and his first nap was 1.5 hours.

Don't they just amaze you how quickly they learn.  whoooppppeeeeee!

good for you, keep it up.  it's sooooooooo worth.  I am so happy I stuck it out.

Hey congratulations on your successes ladies. I think I am far behind you as DD is only three months old, but I just wondered how you both started with the techniques and how long it took before you saw benefits. I am just doing shush/pat at the moment - had to help her towards the end after she kept drifting off only to jolt awake each time - for an hour.
