Well we may of had that last night! When it took about 1 hr 45 mins to get to sleep! :/

Still waking in the night, (twice) but going back to sleep quickly with minimal contact from me, and I wasn't expecting miracles so that's ok.
The chair is still on the landing :)

Tonight DH put him to bed. In preparation for Wednesday when I will be at work and he will be alone, and B was asleep in 30 mins!

And we have also started day time naps too in his bed! Today was day 2, these aren't as easy (as in he gets out of bed, shuts the door on me and tries to play) but we have now had 2 day naps in his bed... For the first time ever!

We are getting there! Thank you!!!!

Absolutely brilliant, so so pleased.

All in all I think things are going so so well Sweetie, and yes, you are definitely getting there. You have been so resolute, and you should be very proud of yourself. In all honestly, he has done way better than I anticipated and trust me I have helped a few Mama's through this and it doesn't always go this well, so he is doing great. Onwards and upwards :)

after a massive success with getting B to sleep at night, it's made a huge difference to our evenings. :)

But now I am more tired then I have ever been. I am actually exhausted.

We have a 2 night wakes a night, sometimes 3 and we are up for the day at 5am.

So next step....
How do I stop the night wakes?

I go in and sort him out. Put him back on pillow and cover him up.
Say goodnight. nothing else.

I then sit on the floor and wait for him to be asleep.
The first wake up takes about 20 mins.
The second wake up can take an hour.

I am exhausted. B is super tired!
