My question is about pu/pd in the nighttime. We have been doing it for naps for about 2 weeks and it has worked pretty well. This week-end I was planning on doing it in the nighttime. I'm nervous! What if she is really hungry and that is why she cries. My other thought is won't she just grow out of waking in the night? And she goes right back to sleep after I feed her... I guess I need some encouragement here.
