UPDATE - 10-29-09.

Hi all, just an update.  After re-reading this post, I'm happy to report that DS is now sleeping MUCH better!  We're on a solid routine and besides some early morning wakings (I think he would prefer to go to sleep at 6-7 pm and wake up 4-6 am!) things are going well. 

Bedtime is 8pm
sometimes he wakes up, sometimes not - NOT sleeping in bed all night with us anymore.
Wake - usually 7-8 am
typically 1 nap, 10-12 or even 1pm.
Second nap is rare b/c he wants to lay down around 5pm - TOOOO late!

I usually bring him in with us when he wakes up around 5am and we sort of doze off/on, nurse, play and finally I roll outta bed around 7-8 and drink copious amounts of coffee. :-)

Things have been a bit more difficult lately b/c molars on coming in, but all in all, I'm SOOOOO happy I found these message boards.

Thanks, and I wanted to share some happy news - it does get better!

Hey there,
I'm well aware of how long ago this thread was, BUT after so much searching, I stumbled across it and was amazed at how similar my situation was to yours. Even with the disagreement with sleep parenting style with your partner - everyone i know always seems to have a husband who is on the same page, so ........if you have the time or the will i would love to hear briefly how it all worked out for you, and if you had any advice for someone who was now in the thick of it. Any special tips or realisations that would help me in this fog? :)

Thanks

Eliza

I see the original poster hasn't been on for 6years now so not sure if you will get a reply now. You could start a thread and get some personal advice, there are plenty of other posters with similar experiences who have come out the other side. Hugs. I remember those days of sleep depravation with dread.
