He is so cute. I have been meaning to post on your sleep training and just haven't had a chance. I definitely don't have all the right answers, but I have been through it. I guess you could say that we "trained" Payton at about 11 months. She was only going to sleep while finishing a bottle and really didn't know how to self soothe. I just talked to a lot of friends and took their advice and just did what worked for us. Just like you said, you have to follow your mommy instinct. It helped me feel better to have a video monitor so I could see her if she woke up. I found that more times than not she wasn't even fully awake when she was crying. There were times I would even walk outside because I couldn't stand to hear her cry. Just to give you the motivation to keep going...it made a world of difference for us. Payton was never really a great napper until she was older anyways. We follow a relatively strict nap and bedtime schedule and she never gives us any trouble. Now that she is in a "big girl bed" she will even lay in her bed for up to 30 minutes without crying or trying to get up until she goes to sleep. She also takes 3-4 hour naps in the afternoons. I say this to encourage you to not give up! I promise it will pay off! Good luck!Jonathan and Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402192640473166960noreply@blogger.com
